ATLANTA — Jamie Garcia got the best of the Giants’ Matt Cain in a pitching duel at San Francisco on May 26, the decisive seventh-inning hit in the 2-0 victory coming from the Atlanta Braves pitcher himself.
The two veterans will be matched again on Thursday night as the teams conclude a four-game series at SunTrust Park. Cain will try to get a little payback.
The loss by Cain to the Braves is part of a five-game losing streak for the right-hander, who is 3-6 with a 4.99 ERA.
“It was definitely a tough one to go back and forth scoreless with Garcia and lose it,” said Cain, who is 4-3 with a 3.
