if tim lincecum is feeling better he will be on the mound. last night it was tim kaine. he gave up one run, that's not a big deal when your team scores two runs. so giants win, 2-1. the win was not the big story, though. we're talking trade. san francisco giving up top prospect zach wheeler in exchange for carlos beltran of the mets. beltran is in philadelphia, he could be in tonight's game against the phillies. >> coming up our movie premier in southern california cause as massive protest. police forced to put on riot gear and close down the streets. and alex trebek credited with catching a bay area robber by chasing her down. but at what price. >> the next round you have to answer in the form of a question. 280 moving smoothly. i have my on e on a an accidentn oakland. hey, your high speed internet here, at home... ...and on the go... ...with some really big news. it's b-i-g -- big. high speed internet from at&t at home... ...includes wi-fi access on the go. woo-hoo!

matt cain and tim lincecum did not play in tonight's game.ree-run shot that bounces on the yellow line and goes over the wall. 3-1 nationals. fielders your all-star game, bring on pablo whose first ever rbi at bat -- he is 5-1. nationals, representing oakland tonight. he did not disappoint. end the 8th inning. a guy who truly appreciated being in that game. top of the night, bruce wanting to wrap things up. he brings on brian wilson and national league for the second straight year, 5-11 the final, and the kids were thrilled with that performance. >> can i ask what they thought about their dad's home run? no. >> stage 10, tour de france finish. >> he looks and he grips again and on the line. >> germany's andre wins by a wheel, thomas remains the overall leader. you're neighbor -- give me the top five, please. >> at least the card didn't. i'll take that. number four, earthquakes taking on west brohm at home. san jose kicks the ball the length of the field into the goal and #-1. incredible. number of three, brian mccann has a foul, he think this

gonzalez from as, sandoval from the giants, matt cain the giants, vogelsong the giants, tim lincecumnd brian wilson, look at me, oh, yeah, here we go. top of the 4th. adrian gonzalez. right now, the frontrenner for american league mvp. it's 1-0 american league. but with one swing of the bat. prince fielder became the mvp. there it is, three-run job, nationals lead 3-1. let's give it some of the local flavor. sandoval came in as a replacement at 3rd base. his only at-bat delivers the goods. down the left field line, hunter prince is going to score and that's all the nationals needed and some. sandoval, one at-bat, a ringing double, how about gio gonzalez, the as' lone representative, struck out jay bruce to end the 8th inning, and then brian wilson, a couple of runners on, comes in the 9th, and gets the final two outs of the game. lincecum, you do wonder why couldn't he throw one or two batters? they didn't want to overuse lincecum for the regular season, bochy calling all the shots. so lincecum and vogelsong don't pitch, neither does cain but bochy all the right moves and there's fie

. >> reporter: tim lincecum posted an e.r.a. of 1.88 here at at&t pa park.t was the lowest ever. ryan vogelsong is on pace to break that mark. he's been lights out especially in front of the home fans here atat&t. >> it's an electric crowd. he always throws great in front of the home crowd. i think he throws great everywhere. he's trying to get guys out. maybe the electricity, the crowd, everything in one. >> he has great focus. we've talked about his concentration out there, and i think he does feed off the crowd and helps him even more. he's one of those guys, he doesn't talk long before the game, he starts getting the focus you like. he takes it out on the field. and to have the home crowd the way we've had all year, i think he does even better with them helping him out. >> and speaking of the starting pitching, barry zito will pitch in game two of that series in philadelphia, saying basically he wants to break up the right handed pitching once again. reporting live from at&t park, jamie sire for nbc bay area. >> thank you, jamie. >>> the oakland a's were

the star, though, tim lincecum.ined the last two days with the flu made them look sick tonight. the red-hot a's sent men to the plate scoring against tampa, going for the sweep. there goes conner jackson, his fourth home run of the season. this is getting fun to watch. but the bullpen, which is the best in the american league gives up seven runs in the 7th inning. and takes brian's teeth to raise the sweep and win the finale. 49ers will hold their first practice tomorrow, but they'll be without michael crabtree. the former first round pick will miss four to six weeks with a foot injury. this means he'll likely miss the entire preseason for the third straight year. 49er kicker who was due to make $1.87 million this year was released and now plans to announce his retirement tomorrow. 49ers will try david acres. and the niners freed up more cap space after cutting nate clemens. he signed a deal in 2007, but never really lived up to that rich deal. niners are still believed to be in the running. the raiders opened camp

>> if were you to guess, which giants starter would have the lowest e.r.a., most would go with tim lincecumtt king, but instead, it is a guy who wasn't even on the team until mid april. lion vogelsong has the second lowest e.r.a. in the national league. not bad for a guy who wasn't even in the majors the last four years. last week, he was named to the all-star team. along with lincecum, kaine and brian wilson. >> i haven't started picking their brain too much yet. i heard there is a lot of stuff to sign. which is not going to bother me one bit. the road i've been on, adding a couple hundred baseballs is not a big deal. never in a million years did i ever think that my name and being a major league all-star would go in the same sentence. so it is pretty amazing. >> women, u.s. open, look at all of the rain, they had to huzle all weekend to get in as many holes as possible. and micka had a four under 67 to move to the top of the leader board through two rounds. they will try to play 36 holes tomorrow. paula creamer is five strokes back. last year's winner. >>>pebble beach. champions tour. no

tim lincecum couldn't start in philly. barry zito took his spot and he got torched. the fanatic fired up for a rematch. zito found out he was starting in batting practice. that's kind of what he served up in the first toy ban yes. a three-1 homer and 4-1 phillies. zito allowed six runs in seven frames. back to back bad starts for him. chat utley drives -- chase utley drives one over the head and it ricochets off the wall. it is an inside the park homer. had one of these a couple years ago, almost the same play, and he is safe. it was a good call by inches. giants lose 7-2 and timmy may go tomorrow. a's and rays and brandon mccarthy and smoke. mccarthy goes 8 and strikes out three one run allowed. a's the bats come alive. kurt suzuki brings home a pair. the a's roll 6-1. they have taken the first two games of this series with tampa bay. tennis, anyone. bank of the west classic as stanford and serena williams in her third event of the year. 6-0 and 6-0. alex smith has agreed to a 1-year deal to return to the 49ers. the question now is will he have competition? smith ca
