Giants 3, Marlins 0

Tim Lincecum allowed two hits and struck out 10 in seven innings, and Jeff Keppinger homered as the San Francisco Giants defeated the host Florida Marlins 3-0 on Saturday.

Lincecum (11-9) posted his seventh consecutive quality start and won for the fifth time in his last seven starts as the Giants won for the first time in five games against the Marlins this season.

Lincecum allowed an infield hit to Emilio Bonifacio in the third and a single to Bryan Petersen in the seventh.

Keppinger's homer in the first was the 21st consecutive solo homer for the Giants, extending their major league record. The 1914 Philadelphia Phillies held the previous mark with 19.

Brian Wilson worked around a hit and walk in the ninth to earn his 35th save.

Aubrey Huff had an RBI double for the Giants, who remained two games behind Arizona in the National League West.
