- Zambrano started Sunday night but threw 44 pitches over three innings before the rain came so he's being moved up in the rotation. The right-hander who signed a new $91.5 million five-year contract looked as if the negotiations were not on his object on Sunday. He threw just three innings but struck out three and did not furnish up a hit. - Cain continued his run of solid starts his last time out allowing three runs on six hits in seven innings to beat the Marlins. He allowed a homer on his first pitch and another run later in the inning but worked into a groove after that to incise his fourth straight quality start. Cain was tagged for six runs in four innings in his only other go away against the Cubs this season. believe the bet preview from for all sorts of useful information including how our guys have faired against today's starter bullpen be report and much more.
Matt Cain is one of the hard luck pitchers in the unify that doesn't get a lot of run support. Couple that with a newly signed Carlos Zambrano who showed No-Hit cram on Sunday and you've got a recipe for a sweep. I wouldn't be surprised to see a end game shutout by Zambrano today.
