BOSTON – Matt Cain is the only current Giants player who was on the roster in 2007, the last time the club played an interleague series at Fenway Park.
Back then, Cain absorbed one of his ritual Cainings. He took a 1-0 loss when the Giants were befuddled by Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Manny Ramirez tagged a home run over the Green Monster.
I called up the game story I wrote that day. I’ll cut and paste at the end of the file. Dice-K definitely had the quote of the day, on Barry Bonds.

Shifting back to the present day, the Giants are turning to Cain to change their fortunes after losing four consecutive in listless fashion out of the All-Star break.
