San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy may have dropped a hint Monday that veteran Matt Cain has the inside track over Ty Blach in the competition for the fifth rotation spot.
Cain was the starter in a Cactus League game against the Indians, with Blach taking over with an inherited runner on base in the fourth inning. That might have been an indication that he is considering Blach for a long relief role, notes Andrew Baggarly of the Mercury News.
"That's a good situation for Ty to come into," Bochy told reporters.
