Friday 5/9/2014: Tim Lincecum pitches 2-hit shutout against Los Angeles (N)
SAN FRANCISCO - Great days are rare. But not for San Francisco's right-hander Tim Lincecum. Los Angeles (N) found out the hard way that he is among the leagues top pitchers, getting just 2 hits. It's his 3rd shutout this season, and the 16th time he has done it in his career. 'I didn't feel that I had good stuff while warming up. But it got better the more I threw the ball. I guess I was lucky.' Lincecum (5-1) was overpowering, fanning 11 while walking 2, throwing 114 pitches. Carlos Febles provided San Francisco with the offense Lincecum needed as he finished 3 for 4, homering once, scoring two runs with 2 RBI. The final score of the game was 6-0.
Thursday 5/8/2014: Adam Wainwright turns in great performance against Boston
BOSTON - Houston's right-hander Adam Wainwright is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Boston found out the hard way, getting just one hit. Wainwright 3rd shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 28th shutouts in his career. Wainwright (4-1) was overpowering, fanning 11 while walking none, throwing 108 pitches. 'I was able to keep´em off balance. That certainly helped.' The hitting star for Houston was second baseman Jay Gibbons, he finished 2 for 5, doubling once, with 2 RBI. The final score of the game was 6-0.
Wednesday 5/7/2014: Chicago (N)'s Strange-Gordon out for 8-9 weeks

After being taken to a local hospital, Strange-Gordon was examined by specialists. The diagnosis revealed the sad truth, a Pulled Tricep Muscle. He has hit no taters while batting .253 this season. His 24 hits and 4 walks add up to a .301 on-base percentage.
Wednesday 5/7/2014: C.C. Sabathia shuts out Kansas City on 2 hits

He now has 13 career shutouts in 286 games started. 'I didn't feel that I had good stuff while warming up. But it got better the more I threw the ball. I guess I was lucky.' Sabathia (6-0) was really unbelievable, striking out 16 and walking none, throwing 77 of 118 pitches for strikes. Jose E. Ramirez helped Sabathia at the plate, he collected 3 hits in 5 trips to the plate, blasting a homerun, scoring twice and driving in 4 runs. Minnesota improved its record to 24-4, scoring 13 runs on 13 hits.
