SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain found some of his old form on Sunday. Appropriately, that led to him getting a brutal no-decision.
A day after Jake Peavy helped send Tim Hudson off into retirement, Cain gave a pre-game speech for retiring left-hander Jeremy Affeldt and then threw five strong innings. Cain, the tough-luck starter here for so many years, gave up just two hits and the Giants built a three-run lead, but it all fell apart in the ninth. Corey Dickerson's three-run homer highlighted a seven-run inning for the Rockies, who got seven hits in their final inning of the season and won 7-3.
