Matt Cain (7-1) won his fifth consecutive decision. San Francisco broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth with a five-hit rally against Ross Detwiler (0-2), including a run-scoring double by Pablo Sandoval and RBI singles by Aaron Rowand and Rich Aurilia.
"To get the 300th win for R.J. is huge," Cain said. "It was my intention to keep the momentum going for us."
