There’s little argument about who has been the NL’s best pitcher in recent seasons after San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum collected his second consecutive Cy Young Award in 2009. This year’s honor, however, appears to be Ubaldo Jimenez’s to lose. The Colorado Rockies right-hander has a chance to join a select group of starters to reach 10 wins before the end of May, but he’ll have to do it in a marquee matchup Monday against Lincecum, who looks to shake off some uncharacteristic control problems. Jimenez is certainly the hotter pitcher coming in, with the hard-throwing Dominican maintaining eye-popping numbers through his first 10 starts. He pitched a no-hitter last month against Atlanta and has allowed a total of seven hits in 15 scoreless innings over his last two outings.

Since 1990, only John Smoltz, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling and Brandon Webb have notched double-digit wins by the end of May. Jimenez said he’s looking forward to squaring off against Lincecum. Lincecum said a new split-fingered fastball is one reason for Jimenez’s brilliant start, but the Giants’ ace is more concerned with his own performance after allowing six runs in 4 2-3 innings and suffering his first loss of the season Wednesday against Washington. It was hardly Lincecum’s first shaky outing, even though he was 5-0 with a 1.76 ERA through his first eight starts. He has walked five in each of his last three starts and has given up 11 runs in 9 2-3 innings over his last two, prompting Giants manager Bruce Bochy to meet with his star pitcher Thursday.
