San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Tim Lincecum worked seven scoreless innings as San Francisco topped Minnesota, 2-1, in the rubber match of a three-game interleague set. Lincecum (6-6) allowed just three hits and two walks while fanning 12 en route to his first win since May 27. I wasnt worried about what would happen when I throw my pitches, Lincecum admitted. Early in the game, when I was commanding my pitches in the zone, I just opened up my mind to allow myself to become that much more confident. Miguel Tejada and Cody Ross drove in a run each for the Giants, who took the final two games in the series following a five-game losing skid. Michael Cuddyer finished 3-for-4 with two doubles and drove in the lone run for the Twins, who have lost two straight after winning eight in a row. Brian Duensing (4-7) was the hard-luck loser, charged with six hits and one run with five strikeouts and a pair of walks over 6 2/3 frames. This was just a very good pitching matchup, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. They just pitched a little better. Thats the Duensing we were looking for. He was consistent and has good stuff. Ahead by a slim 1-0 margin, San Francisco wasted a bases-loaded situation in the seventh when Bill Hall flied out, but tacked on an insurance run in the eighth when Aubrey Huff stroked a leadoff double and came in when Ross followed with a base hit. It was needed, as closer Brian Wilson looked shaky to start the ninth, walking Alexi Casilla and serving up an RBI double from Cuddyer. However, the bearded hurler settled down to retire the next two batters and see Cuddyer tagged out in a rundown to earn his 21st save. The Giants gave Lincecum all the support he needed in the second inning, as Pablo Sandoval singled with one out, moved to third on a Pat Burrell double and scored on a Tejada groundout. Hall also short-circuited a bases-loaded situation in the fifth when he grounded into a fielders choice. GAME NOTES:San Francisco has won four of the last six meetings with Minnesota dating back to their last matchup in 2005...Lincecum posted his fourth game of 10-or-more strikeouts this season, and his first since punching out 12 batters on May 4 against the New York Mets...Minnesota batters struck out 14 times in the contest.

Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry, I was hoping you could clarify Henrik Sedins penalty in Tuesday nights Canucks game. Henrik passed his teammate his stick - with his own stick - and ended up getting an unsportsmanlike penalty. I dont understand how that was unsportsmanlike, or how he did anything bad. Thanks,Barjinder Parhar Vancouver, BC ----- Hey Kerry, During the Canucks-Rangers game, Henrik Sedin got a penalty for being "unsportsmanlike." He nudged a fallen stick back to his teammate and got penalized. Ive always wondered why, when a player loses his stick, he doesnt just pick it back up. I keep thinking, "Cmon man, your sticks only ten feet away from you! You need your stick! Pick it up!" Whats up with players losing their sticks and continuing empty-handed? Thanks. Norman Yeung,Toronto Barjinder and Norman: TSN analyst Mike Johnson immediately made the right call from between the glass in Vancouver last night on the TSN broadcast as did referee Ian Walsh from the ice when Henrik made an illegal stick pass to his teammate, Dan Hamhuis in violation of rule 10.3 Broken Stick – Player. "A player who has lost or broken his stick may only receive a stick at his own players bench or be handed one at his players bench or be handed one from a teammate on the ice. A player (Henrik Sedin) will be penalized if he throws, tosses, slides or shoots a stick to a teammate on the ice." Many pplayers (former and current) do not know this rule so helmets off everyone to Mike Johnson for getting it right.dddddddddddd Here are some other variations of the rule that might come into play. Should they occur you will be one step ahead of the correct call on the ice. Lets assume that Henrik knew the rule and picked up his teammates stick and while in the act of skating it to Hamhuis got involved in the play while he had two sticks in his hands (i.e. checked an opponent or played the puck). Henrik would receive a minor penalty as a player is only allowed to participate in the play with one stick. The same rule applies if a player retrieves a goalkeepers stick. He must physically transport it to the goalie and hand it to him or drop it in his crease to avoid a minor penalty. For violation of this rule the player is assessed a minor penalty for "throwing the stick." Under no circumstance can a player participate in the play while transporting a goal stick and would incur an automatic minor penalty for playing with an illegal stick; no measurement required here! (A goalkeeper is the only player on the ice that can play with a broken stick without incurring a minor penalty). Finally, if a player is tendered a stick thrown on the ice from the players or penalty bench he will not receive a penalty. The person responsible for throwing the stick would receive a bench minor penalty. I trust this clears up any confusion on the call that Mike Johnson and Ian Walsh made last night on Henrik. ' ' '
