Reds Pound Lincecum In 10-2 Win Over Giants

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) -- Mike Leake pitched eight scoreless innings and also got two hits off Tim Lincecum as the Cincinnati Reds gave the San Francisco ace one of his worst beatings ever in a 10-2 victory over the Giants on Saturday.

Brandon Phillips hit a two-run double and scored twice and Joey Votto knocked the two-time Cy Young award winner out with an RBI double in the fifth inning to give the Reds their second win in three games in San Francisco.

Lincecum (5-5) matched his career worst by allowing seven runs in four-plus innings, marking the first time since his rookie year in 2007 that he had allowed seven earned runs in a game.
