Lincecum can't deliver Giants a needed miracle

Ace out-dueled by Kershaw in 2-1 loss to LA as San Francisco slips in wild card

LOS ANGELES - Tim Lincecum is only one man. The star pitcher on the mound isn't in itself enough to get San Francisco a victory, especially if the Giants are playing the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.

The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner could only do so much, with his team once again failing to provide decent run support.
