Lincecum wakes up with flulike symptoms on day of All-Star Game
Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Tim Lincecum (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7981) could miss his first All-Star Game Tuesday night after coming down with flulike symptoms. The San Francisco right-hander got sick Monday night and was getting treatment Tuesday, Giants spokesman Matt Chisholm said. It wasn't immediately clear whether Lincecum would even make it to Yankee Stadium for the game. His locker between National League starter Ben Sheets (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6618) and Edinson Volquez (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7639) was untouched about 4 hours before the first pitch. Lincecum's jersey and a Giants hat hung on a hook on the wall. Dressing half a dozen seats down, San Francisco closer Brian Wilson (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7743) said the flu hit his team during last weekend's series against the Cubs. Lincecum didn't show up for the annual All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade on Tuesday, leaving Wilson to ride alone in the back of a pickup truck up Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. Lincecum was among several pitchers on the NL roster who threw Sunday, giving manager Clint Hurdle a tired group for the Midsummer Classic. Lincecum struck out nine over eight innings to beat fellow All-Star Ryan Dempster (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6006) and the Cubs. The boyish-looking Lincecum, 11-2 in his second year with the Giants, leads the major leagues with 135 strikeouts. His 2.57 ERA is fourth best among starters, and he's lost just once in his last 14 starts.
