Giants beat Cubs 2-1: Marquis' effort goes for naught

"I think it might have caught Fontenot a little by surprise," Piniella said. "Though that kid at third base (Lewis) can run pretty well too."

Cain, meanwhile, dominated the Cubs all night long. After Kosuke Fukudome reached on an error leading off the first and Lee stroked a one-out single, Ward grounded into an inning-ending double play.

Cain didn't allow another hit until Ward doubled leading off the seventh. But after Soto was called out on strikes, Edmonds hit a long fly to the warning track in center, standing at the plate and admiring the shot, which never had a chance.

Aaron Rowand made a nice grab, bounced off the wall and threw in quickly, though Ward was going nowhere. After Fontenot walked, Theriot pinch-hit for Cedeno and took a third strike, ending the inning.

The Giants added a second run off Marquis in the bottom of the seventh on a double by Lewis and an opposite-field RBI single by Winn.
