Cain’s gem lifts Giants past Cubs
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Matt Cain struck out 10 in eight shutout innings, third baseman Jose Castillo made a great diving stop in the eighth to save a hit and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Fred Lewis stole home, scored both runs and had the first two hits against Chicago starter Jason Marquis to help Cain’s winning cause. The Giants went ahead 1-0 in the first when Lewis scored on a double steal in which Randy Winn stole second, and San Francisco bounced back to end a three-game home losing streak after the Cubs took the series opener 9-2 on Monday night.
