San Francisco Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies because of the flu. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner was replaced by left-hander Barry Zito (3-2, 4.78), who was originally scheduled to start Wednesday's game. Lincecum (8-8, 2.90 ERA) is day to day and could pitch in Wednesday night's game.
