Flameout? Flame on!

A year ago, Tim Lincecum lurched into the All-Star break as the worst pitcher in the majors by ERA. This year, he will be basking in history.

With thousands of Giants fans screaming for him at Petco Park, and armed with the swing-and-miss stuff that earned him two Cy Youngs, Lincecum on Saturday night became the 15th Giant to throw a no-hitter, the first since Matt Cain’s perfect game last year.
