CINCINNATI — San Francisco Giants right-hander Matt Cain has received little run support and the bullpen hasn’t helped much either. But he continues to be the team’s most dependable starter.
“He’s really done a nice job,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “Really has just done a great job of bouncing back from last year. He’s worked hard and he’s doing some good things out there. Commanding the ball, changing speeds on his breaking ball, good changeup. Really throwing quality strikes and that’s a good thing to see.”
Perhaps most important, Cain appears to be recovered from a hamstring issue that forced him out of his April 24 start.
