John Hicken- looper and Mayor Michael Hancock to move forward. The exploratory committee, formed by Hickenlooper and Hancock, concluded that Denver would be in a ''very good posi- tion'' to seek the games and that there are ''clear long-term community and eco- nomic benefits'' in both bidding and even- tually hosting. The recommenda- tion is a step in what's still a lengthy process. Hickenlooper and Hancock still have to weigh in, and the U.S. Olympic Committee has to decide whether it will be looking at bids. Communities around Lake Tahoe, Calif., have already expressed interest in hosting the 2022 games.

MLB | Giants 3, Dodgers 0 Giants keep Dodgers scoreless SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim Lincecum won for the first time in nearly two months to end the worst drought of his career, throwing four-hit ball over seven innings, and the San Francisco Giants held the Dodgers scoreless for the third straight game in a 3-0 win Wednesday. Angel Pagan added an RBI single and drew a bases-loaded walk to back Lincecum (3-8) as the Giants moved into a first-place tie in the NL West with just their sec- ond sweep of the season — and the first time in franchise history shut- ting out the Dodgers in a three-game series spanning 123 seasons.
