Maybe the San Diego Padres just bring out the best in Tim Lincecum.
One year after recording his first career no-hitter while facing the Padres, Lincecum got his second career no-hitter… against the Padres.

The moment was commemorated with a proper bath in Powerade:

If not for one walk that he gave up to Chase Headley, Lincecum would have had a perfect game. In nine innings, Lincecum struck out six players as the Giants would win 4-0.
After the game, Timmy put on a new jersey to replace his Powerade drenched Giants one.
