Matt Cain pitches the first perfect game in Giant's franchise history, and only the 22nd perfect game in major league history. I may be biased because I'm a die hard Giants fan, but Matt Cain is the mother effing MAN. 14 strikeouts in a 10-0 victory over the Astros. This just validates why Brian Sabean rewarded Cain with a $127.5 million, six-year contract back in April.
Cain's pitching was on point, but he had some support from the Giants stellar defense. Gregor Blanco laid it out on the warning track in the 7th robbing Jordan Schafer of a hit and keeping the perfect game intact. Thank god, Bochy decided to start Joaquin Arias on 3rd instead of Pablo Sandoval. The extra lbs that Panda is carrying coupled with his off-the-field women problems, not quite sure he would have been able to get that final out at 1st, which could have cost Cain his historical night.
Something must be in the June air in San Francisco. Madison Bumgarner hit his first home run in last night's 6-3 victory, tonight Matt Cain pitches a perfect game, what is Barry Zito going to do tomorrow???
