Cain pitched well against the Marlins on Wednesday night and didn;t factor in the decicidion after giving up two runs on five hits over 7.2 innings. He struck out four and walked four.
Recommendation: Cain was able to work himself out of jams most of the night, except for giving up a long ball to Jeremy Hermida in the 4th inning. Other than that, he'll get credit for a quality atart.
