Marco Scutaro had an RBI single in the eighth inning for the Giants, who acquired two-time All-Star Hunter Pence from Philadelphia for fellow outfielder Nate Schierholtz, minor-league catcher Tommy Joseph and right-hander Seth Rosin.

Lincecum (5-11) capped a brilliant performance by striking out David Wright with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. The two-time National League Cy Young Award winner improved to 5-1 in his career versus the Mets after allowing one run on six hits while striking out seven.

San Francisco quickly loaded the bases in the second inning before Buster Posey was thrown out at home. Brandon Crawford then grounded into what should have been an inning-ending double play, but Tejada's throw sailed wide of first base to allow both Scutaro and Brandon Belt to score.

Jeremy Affeldt worked the final two innings for his second save.
