Cain became the fifth pitcher to earn 100 wins with the San Francisco Giants. He started the 2014 season with 93 wins but has dealt the last three seasons with injuries and ineffectiveness. The Giants won back-to-back games for the first time since the All-Star Break.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Cain’s name used to double as a verb around AT&T Park. To be "Cained" as a pitcher was to record a good start, receive little to no run support and go without a win for the evening as a result.
If not for that trend early in his career, Cain might have long ago reached the milestone he achieved Sunday in the Giants’ 3-1 win over the Washington Nationals.
