Although hitting in clutch situations proved troublesome in their latest game, the San Francisco Giants continued to make strides at the plate following a slow start to this season. The Giants might need an even better effort given Tim Lincecum's recent woes against the Colorado Rockies, including a loss earlier this month. The right-hander will seek a better showing Sunday while trying to lead visiting San Francisco to its fifth win in six games. San Francisco (8-11) was 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position but produced 12 hits in a 5-4 victory in 11 innings Saturday.
