Matt Cain was the starter for Monday’s Cactus League contest with Ty Blach doing the piggyback duties behind him. Both pitchers threw the ball well, with Cain having his best outing of the spring so far.
Cain went 3.1 innings, the longest start this spring by a Giants’ pitcher to this point, but got off to a precarious start in the first inning. Greg Allen, the first hitter of the game, blooped a hit into right field that Hunter Pence lost in the sun, and proceeded to steal second base and score on another single.
