In the NL West: Dodgers beat Phillies 2-1, Arizona beat Colorado 10-0. Giants fall back to 4 games behind LA.

Comments: Well, shoot. Lincecum was really good except during a 4-run second inning that put Giants in a 4-0 hole, lotsa swing-through strikeouts finally. Still trailing 4-1 in sixth, they scored three to tie it up and then scratched out a beautiful run in the seventh to take a 5-4 lead, only to give it away on a Quentin homer (he's incredibly hot right now) in the 8th and a Forsythe (the voice of Charlie on "Charlie's Angels," by the way) walk-off in the ninth. So it was a shaky start and two bad relievers (Affeldt and Edlefsen), and I can't remember a game that went that way for a very long time. Unreal that putting Lincecum on the mound and getting 13 hits results in a loss to the lowly Padres in the Giants' home away from home. SF always outdraws SD in Litterbox Park. Giants have won only two of Lincecum's 12 starts; he's the New Zito. Ryan The Riot is still going absolutely nuts both on defense and offense; he had three run-scoring hits tonight.

Baseball quote of the day: "I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all he had to give."I don't talk. I just let what I do talk for myself." (Roberto Clemente)

Next game: Giants vs. Padres, 3:35 p.m. PDT Wednesday, June 6 at Petco Park. Bumgarner (6-4, 3.04) vs. Richard (2-6, 4.44). TV: CSN-BA
