"The cast might feature a few fresh faces, but the script was all too familiar for Matt Cain and the Giants.

With the momentary updraft of Buster Posey's promotion and Pat Burrell's arrival no longer lifting their wings, the Giants failed to support Cain and left him prone to lose on one mistake.

Despite his impeccable run, Cain made two of them as the Blue Jays broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning. First, he issued a two-out walk to Fred Lewis. Then he threw a 1-1 fastball into Aaron Hill's happy zone for a two-run home run as the Giants lost 3-0 Saturday at Rogers Centre.

It was the second consecutive game in which a Giants starter was beaten on a home run in the eighth inning; Barry Zito gave up a tiebreaking long ball to Edwin Encarnacion on Friday.

"It's Groundhog Day," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Another great pitching effort. The bats are quiet. That's what it comes down to."

Yes, they celebrate Groundhog Day in Canada. In fact, they have multiple furry little guys across the provinces that go by names like Wiarton Willie, Balzac Billy and Shubenacadie Sam."
