{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Giants ace Tim Lincecum left Wednesday's game after a line drive hit him in the back of the right shoulder in the sixth inning.
Miguel Tejada's shot turned into an inning-ending groundout for Baltimore.
Lincecum crouched close to the ground for a moment, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner walked off the field under his own power.

Lincecum struck out 10, the 23rd time in his career he's reached double-digit figures in strikeouts.
