Matt Cain is at it again. In his last start - his first since his return from the DL - Cain pitched a 2-hit shutout. Yesterday, Cain again held his opponent scoreless in 7.2 innings, allowing only 2 hits and striking out 10. This time it was the Hillsborough Hired Hitmen, who lost the match 4-0. Cain will try to extend his shutout streak Monday against Blue Ridge. The win was Philadelphia's ninth straight.
James Shields and the Sugar Bears exacted revenge for their loss in yesterday's slugfest by routing the Rat Pack 16-1 yesterday. Shields went the distance, yielding an unearned run and striking out 10. Meanwhile Rat starter Chris Young was shelled, surrendering 15 runs (9 earned) on 17 hits in 4.2 innings.
Tampa Bay dealt Hoboken their 6th straight loss as Mark Buehrle pitched 6 strong innings (3 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K) and Brian Roberts was 3-5. Tampa Bay padded their lead for the final wild card slot, but the Cutters fell deeper and are now only 1/2 game ahead of Team Buddah for 13th place overall.
