Matching Shutouts

Matt Cain and Jason Marquis throw seven inning shutouts. Both allowed just three hits. Cain issued one more walk (3 to 2) but also struck out more batters (9-4). Both pitchers are lifted for pinch hitters in the seventh.

For Cain, it's his second short shutout of the season (at least six innings, no runs) although he's had two other outings in which he allowed no runs in less than six innings. It's the first for Marquis.

Update: Aramis Ramirez hits a three-run home run down the line in left to break the 0-0 tie in the bottom of the eighth. That's the sixth home run given up by Tyler Walker this season, working in his 36th inning.
