SAN FRANCISCO(AP) -- Tim Lincecum did his usual thing and let
teammates like Rich Aurilia and Randy Johnson get their due.

Aurilia played his final game as a Giant and could retire. The
Big Unit might have thrown his final pitch in a decorated
22-year career.

Lincecum struck out seven in his last start of the season,
Andres Torres homered and hit an RBI triple and the San
Francisco Giants finished their home schedule with a 7-3 victory
over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.

"Definitely for Richie, you could tell it was going to be a big
thing for him," Lincecum said. "I walked off the mound and he
said, 'It's been a pleasure for me just watching you."'

Lincecum (15-7) was perfect before plunking Arizona leadoff man
Chris Young starting the fourth. He outdid Dan Haren in a duel
between aces.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy hopes Lincecum gets consideration for
a second straight NL Cy Young Award despite a relatively low win
total. The hard-throwing right-hander finished the year with 261
strikeouts, four fewer than last year.

Pablo Sandoval had a sacrifice fly, RBI single and tripled for
the Giants, who won their fourth straight. With a 52-29 final
home record, they drastically improved from last year's 37-44.

San Francisco was eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday
night, but plenty of fans came out to see Lincecum's last outing
and to say a likely goodbye to Aurilia, the popular infielder -
and the last remaining member of the Giants' 2002 NL
pennant-winning team. Aurilia isn't likely to return next year,
and neither is outfielder Randy Winn.

"I've known this day was coming for a while," said Aurilia, who
dealt with the death of his father this season. "I was kind of
emotional out there today. I did have some tears in my eyes. ...
It's a really great day for me and I can't thank the
organization enough."

Aurilia received a rousing standing ovation each time he came to
the plate and he tipped his helmet before stepping in against
Haren (14-10) in the second. Fans chanted "Richie! Richie!" when
he batted in the eighth. He flied out to center, then came out
for a curtain call, waving and saluting the crowd. Aurilia spent
12 seasons with the Giants, first from 1995-2003 then again the
past three.

Bochy let him take his spot at first base in the ninth, then
replaced him with Travis Ishikawa.

"The first (ovation) was a little uncomfortable, the first
at-bat, but I'm thankful that Boch put me in there today and let
me have day like that," Aurilia said. "Because that's something
you never forget as a player."

Lincecum left to a standing ovation with none out and two on in
the top of the eighth. He tipped his cap before disappearing
into the dugout.

Johnson got his due, too. The 46-year-old Big Unit, a 303-game
winner whose shoulder injury forced him into a reliever role,
emerged from the bullpen to pitch the ninth.

Lincecum had allowed only a fifth-inning single to Chad Tracy
before Gerardo Parra's base hit to start the eighth. After a
walk to Tracy, Bochy turned to reliever Bob Howry. Stephen Drew
later drove in Arizona's first run on an RBI single off Dan
Runzler, who then gave up Justin Upton's two-run single.

Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch and pitching coach Mel
Stottlemyre Jr. were ejected in the bottom of the fourth.

Stottlemyre visited the mound to talk to Haren after a walk to
John Bowker. Plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt went out to break
up the meeting, apparently thinking it had gone on long enough.
Stottlemyre began arguing and followed Wendelstedt back to home
plate before being tossed.

Hinch rushed out to argue and yelled for several minutes. He was
ejected for the third time this season.

It was the first career ejection for Stottlemyre. Crew chief
Dana DeMuth said after the game both were warned several times
before being ejected.

"It was just the one inning," Haren said. "I've been struggling
the last few times out. I get into a jam and I can't get out."

Haren struck out the side in order in the third, but didn't have
any other clean innings. He struck out seven and walked one in
six innings, allowing nine hits for the second straight start.

NOTES: San Francisco won the season series 13-5, beating Arizona
at AT&T Park for the 10th time in the last 12 meetings. ...
Giants INF Juan Uribe had the day off to rest his tight
shoulder. ... The Giants drew 2,861,113 this season, the second
straight year they missed the 3 million mark after reaching that
number in the waterfront ballpark's first eight years of
existence. ... Hinch hopes to get 70-80 pitches from Saturday
pitcher Daniel Cabrera in a spot start. Cabrera's most so far
this year with Arizona has been 50. ... San Francisco last won
50 or more games at home in 2003 - their last playoff year.
