Matt Cain started the game and had a so-so game. He gave up 4 runs, 2 earned on 5 hits, a walk and a hit batsman. Matt started out slow just like Zito the day before. He gave up a HBP, triple and single to the first 3 batters. The HBP really hurt because it was the leadoff batter, it came on an 0-2 count and the runner scored the first run of the game.

In the 3rd inning, Matt gave up 2 more runs, both unearned, due to Omar Vizquels 3rd error of the spring allowing the leadoff batter to get on base. Omar is booting balls this spring that he would normally field in his sleep. Cain had a 1-2-3 inning in the 2nd. In the 4th, he allowed a leadoff walk, but Bengie Molina erased the baserunner on his 3rd caught stealing this spring. Other than the one attempt against his brother, Molina is throwing well this spring.

Matt struck out only 2 and was relatively wild pretty much every inning except the 2nd. Matt took 71 pitches to complete 4 innings.....44 of them strikes and went to four 3 ball counts.
