Tim Lincecum looks to win his career-high fourth straight start and extend the longest scoreless innings streak of his career tonight when the San Francisco Giants open a four-game series against the San Diego Padres.

San Francisco is on pace to snap a streak of four consecutive losing seasons, thanks to another dominant campaign from Lincecum and one of the majors’ best home records.

They are currently 28-14 at AT&T Park, where they were 37-44 en route to a 72-90 finish in 2008.

In 10 career starts against San Diego, Lincecum is 3-2 with a 1.43 ERA. He only has a lower lifetime ERA against Oakland.

Though San Diego has lost both its games at AT&T Park this season, it’s won six of eight overall against NL West rival San Francisco in 2009.

Josh Greer will get the start for the +245 underdog Padres.
