The marquee matchup to start the 2010 World Series - Cliff Lee of the Texas Rangers (8-0 in postseason play over his career) versus two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum of the Giants - has turned out to be nothing of the sort. Lee was chased in the 5th inning after he'd given up 6 earned runs, and Lincecum looked merely mortal for most of his time on the mound, including early on when he blew a chance to make an out when he caught a Texas base-runner in what should have been an easy rundown. Right now, in the 7th, the Giants are up 8-4 (thanks to a monster, 6-run 5th inning) and both starters are out of the game.
Final score: 11-7 Giants. More like a slugfest than a battle of premiere pitching staffs.
