MATT CAIN RUMORS & GOSSIP

Giants 3, Marlins 2

Giants' Cain finally getting run support

There's a verb in Giantsville describing a pitcher who has an excellent game and walks away without a win. It's called Cain. Or the act of getting Cained. Nobody has been Cained more than Matt Cain in recent years, the victim of lousy run support year after year. Well, things are changing. He gave up four runs in each of his past two starts and won them both. The...

To The Moon, Buster!

Matt Cain just wasn’t quite right all night. But that’s okay, because his battery-mate Buster Posey was. Posey hit a ground-rule double in the first, then followed that up with dead-center no-brainer panty-dropping 2-run home run in the 6th that hit the scoreboard. Before today’s game, I didn’t know where the scoreboard in Miller Park was. Buster showed me...

Marcum looks to even series with the Giants

San Francisco Giants starter Matt Cain wasn't at his sharpest the last time he took the mound, but got enough support from his teammates to win a second straight start. The Giants are hoping to have one of their top hitters, Angel Pagan, back in the lineup to help Cain earn another victory Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Brewers. Cain (3-2, 2.67 ERA) gave up four runs...

D-backs' offensive funk helps Giants' Cain win

PHOENIX Matt Cain had a little extra drive Saturday. The last time he faced the Diamondbacks, he teetered, losing all but one run of a six-run lead in a game the D-backs came back to win. The last time he faced Trevor Cahill, he did not get enough run support to offset a strong outing. Cain took care of both issues in a 5-2 victory over the D-backs, when he had two hits and two...

Still no run support for Giants' Cain

Just like old times for Matt Cain. Super pitching, little support. Since 2005, Cain has had the lowest run support in the majors, and it was more of the same in a 2-1 loss to the Florida Marlins. Cain surrendered two runs in eight innings, and that's all it took as the San Francisco Giants went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. Not much margin of error for Cain...

POSTGAME RECAP: Matt Cain Should Pitch To The Score

The reason the Giants aren’t in first place can be summed up perfectly by two things: Matt Kemp, and that 8th inning. Leadoff double. Bases loaded with one out. Christ Posey at the plate. In play, out(s). Inning over. Friggle fraggle frig. The Marlins manager looks like a genius. Intentionally walking Panda to face Posey, the bringing in a sinkerballer with force outs all around...
