Part 6/11:
In 2010, Lincecum made history by beginning Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves, delivering one of the most remarkable postseason pitching performances ever. He struck out 14 batters in a complete game shutout, setting the tone for the Giants' playoff run. In the World Series, he further showcased his talent, pitching eight flawless innings in Game 5 against the Texas Rangers, ultimately helping secure the Giants' first championship since their move to San Francisco.
As his role evolved, Lincecum transitioned to the bullpen during the 2012 playoffs, proving to be an invaluable weapon against opposing offenses. By 2014, he added a second no-hitter to his accolades against the San Diego Padres, cementing his status as a postseason hero for the franchise.
