More From San Francisco Giants
In that year, Cain was 12-11 with 179 strikeouts and a 2.88 ERA in 33 starts. Twelve wins? Tim Lincecum went 13-14 that year with a 2.74 ERA, so obviously the run support was hard to come by for the whole team.
With that recent success still somewhat fresh in the minds of Giants fans, Cain has been working diligently to get back to that same level of success. Most fans are hoping for the same out of Lincecum. Although a return by Lincecum is possible, Cain is most definitely here through 2017.
