Welcome back to our "12 Days of Mays-mas" series! As we celebrate the month of May with some unforgettable Giants moments, today we're diving into a true gem: Game 1 of the 2010 National League Division Series.
If you're a Giants fan, you already know this game holds a special place in franchise history. It was October 6, 2010, and Tim Lincecum—the Freak himself—took the mound against the Atlanta Braves. What followed was nothing short of legendary. Lincecum pitched a complete game, striking out 14 batters while allowing just two hits and two walks. It was a performance that announced to the baseball world that the Giants were here to stay, and it set the tone for their eventual World Series run.
For those who love reliving the glory days, this start is arguably Lincecum's finest playoff outing. The energy in AT&T Park that night was electric, and every strikeout felt like a statement. It's the kind of game that reminds us why we love this sport—and why wearing Giants gear feels so special.
As a bonus, the current Giants are back in action tonight, hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:05 p.m. PT. So whether you're rewatching old highlights or gearing up for tonight's game, it's the perfect time to show your team pride.
Stay tuned for more Mays-mas memories, and as always, go Giants!
