Two is Enough
It looks like Matt Cain decided the only way he can win a game is to pitch a shutout. He held the Chicago Cubs scoreless for eight innings Tuesday night, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out ten. He needed to pitch that well, as the Giants managed just two runs off Jason Marquis for the game.
Even with Cain's great performance, Wilson came close to blowing the game. A leadoff triple in the ninth by Derrek Lee and two singles turned the contest into a one-run game. The Giants scored just enough to win.
The Giants have scored 65 runs in Cain's 18 starts, an average of 3.6 runs per start. That's below their poor 4.0 runs per game as a team.
