Matt Cain pitched a stellar seven innings, while the offense and defense stayed hot as the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 for their fourth-consecutive victory.
Cain started the game by allowing a lead off double, but retired the side to strand the runner at second. He used his two seam fastball which sat 88-90 mph, and curveball to keep hitters off balance. His final line was 6.2 innings, one run on five hits, three walks and five strikeouts.
Los Angeles threatened once in the top of the third inning when Corey Seager hit a grounder off Cain’s foot, resulting in a single.
