SAN FRANCISCO - Normally Brian Duensing can't empathize with thehitters in Minnesota's lineup, can't relate to what they go throughwhen he's not on the mound. Pitching in a National League ballpark Thursday afforded himthat chance, and Duensing gained a great deal of understanding infacing two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum in the Twins' 2-1 loss to the Giants. The Twins starter represented two ofLincecum's 12 strikeouts. The Giants right-hander twice struck outthe side in order and once struck out six consecutive Twins , as he allowed just three hitsin seven shutout innings.
