The two walks marked the sixth straight performance in which he issued three or fewer free passes, which is a promising trend for a hurler who's struggled with his control throughout his career. Make sure to start Cain on Oct. 3 when he takes on the Padres at cavernous PETCO Park. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/552151 552151 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:16:15 EDT mlb.com 55 days 18 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/552151 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. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/552089 552089 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:56:01 EDT fanball.com 55 days 18 hours 25 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/552089 Giants manager Bruce Bochy was relieved to see Matt Cain on the mound Sunday, and not the guy who struggled in his previous three starts. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/552015 552015 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:20:02 EDT yahoo.com 55 days 19 hours 1 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/552015 Matt Cain tossed eight shutout innings, striking out eight, to beat the Cubs on Sunday.

He’s endured some sustained struggles down the stretch, going 0-3 with a 9.42 ERA over his last three starts, which may be an indicator that the wear and tear of his third consecutive campaign of 200-plus innings may be affecting him. Owners should probably exercise caution with the young righty going forward, as his next outing will come on Sept. 27 vs. a Cubs lineup that can put some runs on the board. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/542844 542844 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 1:32:16 EDT mlb.com 60 days 13 hours 49 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Cain/542844
