GIANTS 7, PHILLIES 2 Lincecum finds form in Philadelphia By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brandon Craw- ford hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, Tim Lincecum threw seven sharp innings and the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 on Friday night. Ryan Howard hit a solo homer for the last- place Phillies, who have lost two in a row after winning four straight. Lincecum (4-10) looked more like the pitcher who was a two- time Cy Young Award winner than the one who entered the game with a 5.93 ERA. He allowed two runs and five hits, striking out six. Worley (5-6) gave up six runs and six hits in six innings, striking out nine. having already thrown 105 pitches. Crawford ripped the second pitch he saw out to right for his second career slam to put the Giants up 6-1. Howard drove one out to almost straight- away center to get the Phillies within 6-2 in the bottom half. It was Howard's second homer in 25 at-bats since returning after missing the first 84 games. Crawford's RBI sin- Phillies starter Vance The Giants broke it open with five runs in the sixth. gle off Jeremy Horst in the eighth made it 7-2. A balk by Lincecum forced in Shane Victori- no to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Victorino and Chase Utley hit consecutive hard singles to start the inning. After the balk, Lincecum worked out of a bases-loaded jam, retiring Placido Polanco on a bouncer to third. The Giants tied it at 1 on Eli Whiteside's two- out RBI double to deep right in the fifth. Ryan Theriot led off with a single, Melky Cabrera singled and Buster Posey walked to load the bases. Pablo Sandoval's sacrifice fly made it 2-1. Nate Schierholtz walked to re-load the bases. Wor- ley stayed in despite Lincecum has con- secutive quality starts for just the second time this season. He got a no-decision in San Francisco's 3-2 extra- inning win over Hous- ton last Saturday when he tossed eight score- less innings. 6:05 p.m. CSNC 1:05 p.m. FOX Sports 1B Weekend July 21-22, 2012 Valley Oak volleyball winners MCT photo Tim Lincecum, who struck out six and went seven innings, pitches on Friday.

With his title in sight, Wiggins made it a point Friday to acknowl- edge the work of unsung teammate Mark Cavendish, helping to lead him to a stage victory.

Cavendish has made plenty of sacrifices, even lead- ing his team leader over the climbs he often dreads.
