Oct. 4 6:08 PM PT7:08 PM MT8:08 PM CT9:08 PM ET2:08 AM GMT10:08 AM 北京时间-Cain allowed two runs and six hits in five innings, with five strikeouts and one walk, in the Giants' 2-0 loss to San Diego on Saturday. Analysis: Cain reversed his 8-14 record from last season in 2009, but had a disappointing finish. He was just 1-4 with a 5.60 ERA in his last five starts as the Giants were fighting for a postseason berth.
Sep. 6 10:44 AM PT11:44 AM MT12:44 PM CT1:44 PM ET6:44 PM GMT2:44 AM 北京时间-Cain bullied his way through the Brewers for seven innings Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Brewers. Analysis: Cain allowed two runs and four hits and pitched into the eighth inning, matching his career high for wins with 13 after going seven starts without one. "He's bull strong," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's had some tough luck, but he's more of a pitcher now and he's keeping his composure out there."
Aug. 31 2:14 PM PT3:14 PM MT4:14 PM CT5:14 PM ET10:14 PM GMT6:14 AM 北京时间-Cain allowed four runs and eight hits over six innings in Sunday's 9-5 win over Colorado. Analysis: Cain saw his winless stretch reach seven starts since he beat the Rockies in Denver on July 24.
Aug. 26 1:35 PM PT2:35 PM MT3:35 PM CT4:35 PM ET9:35 PM GMT5:35 AM 北京时间-Cain allowed two runs - one earned - and four hits over seven innings on Tuesday, and didn't earn a decision for the third straight game in the Giants' 5-4 win over Arizona on Tuesdasy. Analysis: Cain is winless in six starts since a victory at Coors Field on July 24. That's mostly been due to a lack of run support, however, as he has a 2.72 ERA and has held opponents to a .214 average.
Aug. 21 10:16 AM PT11:16 AM MT12:16 PM CT1:16 PM ET6:16 PM GMT2:16 AM 北京时间-Cain allowed one run and eight hits over eight innings in a 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Reds on Thursday. Analysis: Cain is 0-2 with a 2.97 ERA over his last five starts.
Aug. 16 10:08 AM PT11:08 AM MT12:08 PM CT1:08 PM ET6:08 PM GMT2:08 AM 北京时间-Cain failed to get his career-high 13th win for the fourth straight start, giving up six hits and three runs in 7 1-3 innings in the Giants' 5-4, 10-inning win over the Mets on Saturday. Analysis: Cain hasn't won recently, but he's been even better in the second half so far than he was in the first. He's 3-2 with a 2.37 ERA since July 1.
Aug. 10 2:16 PM PT3:16 PM MT4:16 PM CT5:16 PM ET10:16 PM GMT6:16 AM 北京时间-Cain (12-4) struck out seven in seven innings and matched his season high with five runs in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Reds. Analysis: Cain has lost his last three outings against the Reds over three seasons.
Aug. 4 8:52 AM PT9:52 AM MT10:52 AM CT11:52 AM ET4:52 PM GMT12:52 AM 北京时间-Cain's six-start unbeaten streak was snapped with the Astros' 4-3 win over the Giants on Monday night. Analysis: Cain went 3-0 with an 0.94 ERA in six July starts. He allowed only four earned runs the whole month.
Jul. 30 2:04 PM PT3:04 PM MT4:04 PM CT5:04 PM ET10:04 PM GMT6:04 AM 北京时间-Cain pitched nine scoreless innings but settled for a no-decision in Wednesday's 1-0, 10-inning win over Pittsburgh. Analysis: Cain, named an NL All-Star but unable to participate because of an arm injury, struck out four and walked two in an impressive 111-pitch outing. He missed a chance at his 13th win, which would match his career high also done during his standout rookie season in 2006. He hasn't lost in six starts since a June 26 defeat at Milwaukee.
Jul. 20 11:21 PM PT12:21 AM MT1:21 AM CT2:21 AM ET7:21 AM GMT3:21 PM 北京时间-After leaving his previous start with a bruised right elbow, Cain returned Sunday to earn his 11th win by allowing one run over seven innings in a 4-3 victory at Pittsburgh. Analysis: Cain left after throwing only 35 pitches in a 2-1 win July 11 over San Diego. He was hit just above his right elbow by Tim Stauffer's line drive with two outs. The ball ricocheted off Cain toward the third-base dugout as the Giants pitcher grimaced in pain while walking around on the field.
Jul. 7 10:22 AM PT11:22 AM MT12:22 PM CT1:22 PM ET6:22 PM GMT2:22 AM 北京时间-Cain held the Marlins to two runs - one earned - and five hits in 6 2-3 innings of a 5-4 win Monday night. Analysis: Cain, named to his first All-Star team Sunday, improved to 10-2 with a career-best 2.42 ERA in 17 starts this year. He's already exceeded last year's win total of eight, set in 34 starts, and is three shy of his career high set in 31 starts in 2006.
Jul. 2 1:25 PM PT2:25 PM MT3:25 PM CT4:25 PM ET9:25 PM GMT5:25 AM 北京时间-Cain held the Cardinals to one run in seven innings Wednesday, but the Giants fell 2-1 in 10 innings.

The right-hander is winless in those games after getting a run support average of 6.48 during a six-start winning streak from May 17-June 14.
Jun. 21 11:30 AM PT12:30 PM MT1:30 PM CT2:30 PM ET7:30 PM GMT3:30 AM 北京时间-Cain had another strong start Saturday against the Rangers, although he did not receive a decision. Analysis: Cain pitched eight innings, giving up one run and three hits in the 11-inning victory. Cainis 7-0 with a 1.87 ERA in his last nine starts -- all of which the Giants have won.

Analysis: Cain (8-1, 2.55 ERA) earned the victory despite allowing four runs over 6 1-3 innings and will try to break a four-start losing streak to Oakland during interleague play at home Sunday. He is 1-4 with a 3.38 ERA in five career starts against the A's.
Jun. 5 2:12 PM PT3:12 PM MT4:12 PM CT5:12 PM ET10:12 PM GMT6:12 AM 北京时间-The rain helped Cain get a complete game Thursday, as his five strong innings were enough for San Francisco to beat the Nationals 4-1. Analysis: He fanned seven and allowed five hits and the one run to continue his dominant run. Cain is 5-0 with a 1.60 ERA in his last six starts.

Analysis: Cain fought his control early, walking four in the first two innings, then settled down.

Apr. 27 11:26 AM PT12:26 PM MT1:26 PM CT2:26 PM ET7:26 PM GMT3:26 AM 北京时间-Cain held the Diamondbacks to one run and four hits in seven innings Sunday, but the Giants' bullpen blew a three-run ninth-inning lead in the 5-4, 12-inning loss. Analysis: Cain has been great over his first four starts, holding opponents to two runs or fewer in each game and posting a 2.08 ERA overall. However, he's been rewarded with only two wins so far because of a lack of run support and a shaky bullpen.
Apr. 22 1:59 PM PT2:59 PM MT3:59 PM CT4:59 PM ET9:59 PM GMT5:59 AM 北京时间-Cain allowed two runs and nine hits in six innings of an 8-3 win over the Padres on Tuesday. Analysis: The right-hander, who didn’t get his first win last year until April 23, is 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA in three starts.
