Player Notes
October 4, 2009
Matt Cain lasted just five innings in his final regular season start on Saturday. He allowed two runs on six hits and a walk and struck out five in the 2-0 loss to the Padres.

Our View:Cain fell to 14-8 with the loss and has now lost four of his last five decisions. He was a Cy Young candidate before he imploded in September with a 5.22 ERA.
September 27, 2009
Matt Cain was brilliant on Sunday against the Cubs, tossing eight scoreless innings in which he surrendered just three hits and two walks. He fanned eight and improved to 14-7 on the season with the 5-1 win.

Our View:Cain needed a solid start to rebound after his last outing that marked his worst effort of the season. He failed to earn a quality start in four of his previous five outings, but Sunday's effort reminded owners just how dominant he's been for the majority of the season.
September 23, 2009
Matt Cain had his worst outing of the season on Tuesday against Arizona. He was tagged for seven runs on eight hits before being pulled after just 2.1 innings.

Our View:Cain fell to 13-7 after a 10-8 loss and saw his ERA climb from 2.71 to 2.99. Any lingering hopes of a Cy Young award vanished after Tuesday's drubbing.
September 17, 2009
Matt Cain got out-dueled by Jorge De La Rosa in a playoff-like atmosphere on Wednesday night. The Giants' co-ace allowed four runs in six innings, while the Rockies lefty pitched eight innings of shutout ball, as San Francisco lost 4-3 at home.

Our View:Cain, who has now allowed four runs in both of his past two starts, couldn't have picked a worse time of the season to slump. The Giants now find themselves three and a half games behind the Rockies for the National League wild card with just 16 games to go.
September 12, 2009
Matt Cain gave up four earned runs on seven hits over six innings in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Dodgers at AT&T Park. He had three walks with five strikeouts.

Our View:Cain surrendered four earned runs in two of his last three starts, and only collected one win over his last nine outings. He still carries a strong 2.61 ERA for 2009.
