Cain Wins
Matt Cain picked up his first win last night, and everyone in San Fracncisco seems happy.
"A shutout is always good, no matter how it's done," Cain said. "It was nice to see the guys in the bullpen so locked in."
The Giants should still be worried about Cain, however. He only lasted 5 1/3 innings due to a high pitch count. That came from walking five batters, bringing his total for the season to 23 in 32 2/3 innings. What was different last night is that Cain didn't get hit with runners on base. For the season, teams are hitting .300 against the Giants starter in that situation. Given his overall stat line, he's lucky his ERA is only 4.41. If he doesn't find his control soon, that number could be going much higher.
