SAN FRANCISCO -- As good as it felt to shut out the World Series champions for eight innings, getting a pair of hits against two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum really made Mike Leakes day. Leake held the struggling San Francisco hitters in check and started two rallies with his bat as the Cincinnati Reds gave Lincecum one of his worst beatings ever in a 10-2 victory over the Giants on Saturday. "I take pride in my hitting," Leake said. "I dont like to get out. Its more fun to get hits than it is to pitch good sometimes. ... Anytime Im squaring balls up, its pretty fun." Brandon Phillips hit a two-run double and scored twice and Torontos Joey Votto knocked the San Francisco ace out with an RBI double in the fifth inning to give the Reds their second win in three games in San Francisco. Lincecum (5-5) matched his career worst by allowing seven runs in four-plus innings, marking the first time since his rookie year in 2007 that he had allowed seven earned runs in a game. "I was just kind of flying all over the place," Lincecum said. "I didnt have any command of the zone at all. To me, thats just kind of going back to the drawing board and getting my mechanics straight." With the Giants struggling to generate any offence of late, that cushion proved to be more than enough for Leake (6-2), who improved to 3-0 with a 1.93 earned-run average in four starts since a brief stint back in the minors. "Mainly my head is just back on straight a little bit," Leake said. "I think I lost it there for a little." Leake allowed four hits -- including an infield popup by Eli Whiteside that third baseman Scott Rolen lost for a single -- and struck out a career-high eight. Leake had a 21.21 ERA in two previous outings against the Giants, including giving up six runs while retiring one batter in a relief outing in his final appearance of the season last August. Leake also started a pair of rallies at the plate against Lincecum. Leake doubled to lead a the two-run third inning when the Reds scored on a groundout by Jay Bruce and a wild pitch by Lincecum to make it 3-0. Leake then singled to start the four-run fifth. Drew Stubbs followed with a walk and both players scored on Phillips double to left field. Vottos RBI double ended Lincecums briefest outing of the season and Rolen added a sacrifice fly to make it 7-0. "That was a rare outing by Lincecum," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "Thats a two-time Cy Young award winner. Hes one of the best in the business. He wasnt as sharp today as he usually is." Lincecum allowed seven hits and walked four and struck out a career-low one batter. He struggled with his control all afternoon, throwing 37 balls compared to 36 strikes, and had two wild pitches. He generated only two swings and misses all day -- both to Stubbs, who struck to open the game. That was the high point of the game for Lincecum who allowed an RBI single to Ryan Hanigan in the second inning, the two runs in the third and four runs in the fifth. Lincecum now has a 7.66 ERA in four starts since throwing 133 pitches in a shutout victory against Oakland last month. "More than anything his fastball commands off," manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was an off day for Timmy, I dont know how else to tell you, especially with his command. Thats a good hitting ballclub and youre going to pay for it if youre off. Theres not much else to it, really. He feels good, hes healthy. Hes just having trouble getting the ball where he wants." The Reds, who went just 2-8 on their last road trip, have matched that total in three games in San Francisco. The pitching has had a big part in that with Johnny Cueto and two relievers combining on a 3-0 shutout Thursday night before Leakes strong start. Pat Burrell broke up the shutout with a two-run homer in the ninth off Carlos Fisher -- his first longball in 96 at-bats. Cincinnati has gone a season-high four games without a home run, winning two of them. Notes: Leake leads Reds pitchers with seven hits. ...
