Cain not bad, but loses final start: Giants SP Matt Cain, who interrupted a three-game losing streak with eight shutout innings in his last start, wasn't bad in his final start Saturday at San Diego, but he took the loss, falling to 14-8. He allowed two runs on six hits in five innings, issuing one walk and recording five strikeouts.

Fantasy Analysis

Cain looked like a Fantasy ace in the first half, going 10-2 with a 2.39 ERA. He slowed down a bit in the second half, though, and didn't get the run support he needed to remain a consistent winner. Overall, the good outweighs the bad with the 25-year-old. He took another step forward in his development and will enter 2010 as a No. 2 Fantasy SP.
