Phillies Get Thumped By Giants

Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, Tim Lincecum threw seven sharp innings and the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 on Friday night.

Ryan Howard hit a solo homer for the last-place Phillies, who have lost two in a row after winning four straight.

Lincecum (4-10) looked more like the pitcher who was a two-time Cy Young Award winner than the one who entered the game with a 5.93 ERA. He allowed two runs and five hits, striking out six.

Phillies starter Vance Worley (5-6) gave up six runs and six hits in six innings, striking out nine.

The Giants broke it open with five runs in the sixth.
