	This will definitely be an All-Star moment that San Francisco Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum would love to forget. Just hours before taking the field at Yankee Stadium in his first All-Star Game, Lincecum was hospitalized at New York Presbyterian with flulike symptoms. “He’s resting comfortably,” said Giants’ Media Relations Manager Matt Chisholm. Giants closer Brian Wilson, who also made his All-Star debut at Yankee Stadium rode down Sixth Avenue in the All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade without Lincecum, who also missed the parade. “I think it was just one of those things that just hit him this morning,” said Wilson, who grew up a fan of the New York Yankees arch-rival, the Boston Red Sox. Wilson came on to pitch for the National League in the bottom of the eighth inning and retired the only two batters he would face. Former Stanford star Carlos Quentin, who is having a breakout season with the Chicago White Sox flew out to deep centerfield. Wilson was then got Detroit Tigers second baseman Carlos Guillen, before he was replaced by Billy Wagner of the New York Mets. Associated Press contributed to this report.
