Cain (4-6) allowed five hits and three walks but didn't yield a run over five innings in a victory over the Nationals on Saturday. He also struck out four in the win.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight start Cain didn't allow a run, but he also didn't pitch past the fifth. Having made just four starts since returning from the disabled list, the Giants are trying to build up his arm strength. Cain also continued to struggle with his control, which didn't help his pitch count. He threw just 51 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Even still, it's hard to argue with 10 straight scoreless frames. Cain will pitch again Friday against the Orioles.
