Twice as Nice: Lincecum No Hits Padres Again

The great Christy Mathewson no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs on July 15, 1901 and June 13, 1905, respectively.

(SAN FRANCISO, Calif. ) - Proving that he's a performer for the ages, Tim Lincecum reached across the centuries Wednesday to match a feat that only one other Giant accomplished.

Lincecum became the second Giant to pitch two no-hitters, barely missing a perfect game while silencing the San Diego Padres in San Francisco's 4-0 triumph at AT&T Park.
