"Carlos Beltran will make his Giants debut tonight and he'll play behind Tim Lincecum. Not a bad double-feature.

Lincecum got the green light to return to the rotation tonight, two days after he was scratched due to a fairly incapacitating stomach ailment. He played catch yesterday and said he was feeling better. I think if it were a day game and the temperatures were a bit more fearsome, the Giants probably would be cautious and save Lincecum for the Reds. But it's been relatively pleasant here in Philly and the first pitch isn't until 7:05 p.m. EDT.

So it'll be Ryan Vogelsong, Madison Bumgarner and Barry Zito in Cincinnati. Then the probables will be Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum and Vogelsong when the Giants begin their homestand with the second-place Arizona Diamondbacks."
