April 29 (Reuters) - Tim Lincecum struck out eight batters to carry the San Francisco Giants to a 9-4 win over West Coast rival the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old right-hander took a shutout into the eighth inning before running into trouble, but threw 103 pitches and allowed three runs in his second straight win.
"Everything felt fine," the National League Cy Young recipient told reporters. "Pitches were moving the way they were supposed to. You always want to try to do the same things."
Bengie Molina led the offense with four RBIs and Edgar Renteria finished 4-for-5 for the Giants (10-10), who scratched out 15 hits in winning the series rubber match.
The NL West leading Dodgers (14-8) lost for the third time in four games.
Starting pitcher Eric Stults had a poor outing and lasted just 2 2/3 innings after previously pitching well in place of Hiroki Kuroda, who was injured on opening day.
