Tim Lincecum lost his fifth straight start, and Barry Enright and two relievers combined on a seven-hit shutout for the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 6-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Lincecum has never lost five starts in a row before. His ERA in August is 7.82.
The winner of the last two NL Cy Young awards, Lincecum gave up four runs on five hits in six innings.
Adam LaRoche homered, and Stephen Drew doubled, tripled and scored three times for Arizona, which snapped a seven-game losing streak to San Francisco.
