| Even with the Giants all straightened out now, Matt Cain still has not lost a game. Cain goes to 14-0 only allowing one run in 7 2/3, and of all things smashed a 4th inning grand slam!! That is his second homerun of the year, too! In trying out of curiosity to see how many pitchers have hit grand slams in major league history, I uncovered a couple of interesting things. Felix Martinez of the Mariners, on June 23rd of this year, hit a grand slam off of all people Johan Santana for the first grand slam by an American League pitcher since 1971. Braves pitcher Tony Colinger hit TWO grand slams in the same game in a game in 1966 against the Giants. I haven't beem able to find a list of pitchers who have hit grand slams in a game though, I guess it is more than I thought. |

Matt Cain added four ribbies to his seasonal total with one swing of the bat
as the San Francisco Giants topped the Los Angeles(NL) Dodgers by a score of
7 to 1 at AT&T Park.
Cain had a big evening at the plate. He launched a rocket-shot out of the
park for a Grand Slam homerun in the 4th inning and doubled in the 7th
inning. Los Angeles(NL) was out-hit by San Francisco, 11 hits to 5.
Cain(14-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 and 2/3 innings and allowing
1 run. Chad Billingsley(4-3) was given the loss. He allowed a few too many
baserunners giving up 7 hits and 2 walks in 4 innings.
