SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Bruce Bochy planned to give most of his pitchers one-inning stints during the first weekend of spring ball, but Matt Cain stretched it out to 40 pitches on Saturday.
“I’ve had enough days off the past couple of years,” Cain said, smiling.
In his first start of a crucial spring, Cain threw two innings. He was charged with three hits and two runs, just one of them earned.
“He’s in a good place right now with his arm strength,” Bochy said. “His delivery is consistent. I’m glad he got a lot of work today, to be honest.
