EDGE Analysis

Cain was cruising through four innings, allowing just a single hit, but the wheels came off in the sixth when the Pirates rallied for six runs. Much of the damage was self-inflicted, as Cain loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch, and then walked in a run. Next Matt Joyce drove in two with a pinch-hit single, and Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run blast to help end Cain's night. Cain has had a rough 2016 that wasn't helped any by Wednesday's performance, sporting a 5.81 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. Cain hasn't had a sub-four ERA since 2012, and represents a risky fantasy play going forward.
