San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum has joined Cliff Lee on the bench in Game 1 of the World Series after giving up two runs in the sixth inning as the Giants saw their lead narrow to 8-4 heading into the seventh inning.

Bengie Molina drove in the Rangers’ third run of the night on a double to the left field corner, and David Murphy sent home another when he singled to right field. Santiago Casilla is now pitching for the Giants.
