It must be nice for Matt Cain to get a run... or 4.Edgar Renteria's grand slam tonight off of Jake Peavy was that very odd and rare occurrence in baseball:
Run support for Matt Cain.
The guy has posted sub 4.00 ERAs the last two seasons with 200 or more innings in both years.
Not saying that is Cy Young caliber, but in this day and age, that's pretty dang good.
Certainly better than his 7-16 record in 2007 and his 8-14 record last year would indicate.
He's 2-0 now. If the offense keeps hitting for him, who knows? He might turn that around.
I wouldn't hold your breath, but he should be happy today
I have been following him since he was playing A ball in San Jose, he has great stuff and his teams have sucked. He plays on the Red Sox and he is in Cy Young talks.
