San Francisco will try to get Tim Lincecum back on the winning track when the Philadelphia Phillies pay a visit to AT&T Park Monday.
But it won't be easy as workhorse Roy Halladay takes the hill for Philly.
Lincecum bombed in his last start and didn't get out of the third inning. Halladay has been his usual dominant self, giving up a single run in his first two starts combined.
