  • Cain fades late in loss: San Francisco SP Matt Cain (12-11) surrendered three runs on five hits in 7 1/3 innings during the Giants' 3-1 loss at Arizona on Friday night. Cain notched six strikeouts and three walks as he took the loss during the Diamondbacks' division-clinching victory. He has now issued at least three walks in his past five starts and now owns a 2.88 ERA this year. "They are a team that really does play until the end," said Cain, who carried a shutout into the seventh inning before yielding all the runs in the next two. "They find different guys each night to spark plug the offense."

    Fantasy Analysis
    Cain was 6-1 with a 2.83 ERA his previous eight starts against the Diamondbacks and again had them baffled early before fading. He was originally slated to pitch Saturday's game, but was moved up to Friday as the Giants attempt to make up ground in the National League Wild Card chase. His move in the rotation will allow him to pitch in the team's season finale Wednesday against Colorado. Fantasy owners should continue to consider him a solid option in all formats for the start as he is 2-1 with a 4.94 ERA in four starts versus the Rockies this season.
