  • Cain limits damage in win: Giants starting pitcher Matt Cain was not fooling the Brewers on Wednesday, as he allowed 11 hits in seven innings, with seven of them going for extra bases. However he managed to limit the Brewers to only four runs in the game, with some help from Melky Cabrera, who threw out Norichika Aoki at the plate in the bottom of the first inning to keep the Brewers off the board after he tripled to lead off the game. Cain would wind up lasting long enough to pick up the win in a 6-4 game, despite giving up two runs in his final inning. He struck out eight batters in the game while walking none to push his record to 4-2. The 11 hits were the most he has allowed in almost a year, when he allowed 11 to this same Brewers team on May 29, 2011.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Cain has gone at least six innings in each of his starts and at least seven in five of nine. He has a 2.94 ERA in 64 1/3 innings, while striking 62 and walking just 10. He is posting the best strikeout and walk rates of his career, with 8.67and 1.40 per nine innings so far on the season, which largely explains his currently success. Cain is set to make his second start during Week 8 (May 21-27) on Sunday against the Marlins, a team he has already thrown eight innings of two-run ball against this season. He remains a must-start pitching option in all formats.
