Tim Lincecum went five no-hit innings and five revilers combined for a two-hit performance as the Chicago Cubs scoreless streak reached 20 innings with a 5-0 loss Wednesday.
News circulated prior to the game that the Cubs and Orioles have mutual interest in a Jeff Samardzija deal while manager Rick Renteria believes he deserves an All-Star nod.
Around the league it was walk-off Wednesday with the Athletics, Blue Jays, Phillies, and White Sox all came back in the ninth for the win. The Pirates and Cardinals dropped their series while the Reds snapped their losing streak with a win over the Dodgers and the Brewers offense stayed hot.
