SCOTTSDALE—Tim Lincecum made up for his shaky first start.He pitched three hitless innings for San Francisco in his second spring training outing start before Aramis Ramirez hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in a three-run sixth that led the Cubs over the World Champion Giants 3-2 Tuesday.Lincecum struck out two and allowed only one runner to reach: Starlin Castro on an error by shortstop Miguel Tejada.Lincecum gave up three runs and five hits in 1 2-3 innings in his first start, against Arizona.He’s looking forward to having a full spring to work with catcher Buster Posey after veteran Bengie Molina yielded to Posey last year.Cubs starter Ryan Dempster gave up one run, two hits and a walk in three innings, striking out three.Pablo Sandoval had a second-inning, opposite-field RBI double to left, then doubled off the batter’s eye 430 feet away in center in the fourth. Sandoval has five RBIs and eight hits thus far, including two doubles and two home runs.The Cubs won for the first time in three spring training games this year.Ryan Dempster started and gave up a run on two hits, walked one and struck out three in three innings. Todd Wellemeyer, the Giants’ fifth starter a year ago and now is in his second tour of duty with the Cubs, gave up one hit in two innings and struck out two and got the win.The Giants got within a run in the eighth on a single by Thomas Neal, and had a chance to tie it in the ninth before Esmalin Caridad got the save.With two outs and the tying run at third, Brandon Belt pulled a line drive that right fielder Jim Adduci caught at the last moment with the sun in his eyes.
NOTES: Giants CF Andres Torres missed his second straight game with a strained muscle on his left side. Time for his return is uncertain … Sandoval is now 6 for 13 with two home runs, two doubles and five RBIs. … Marlon Byrd had two hits and an RBI and is 4 for 6 to start the spring …Carlos Silva makes his first spring start on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
