"Matt Cain reached a couple of impressive plateaus Wednesday afternoon.

He became the seventh pitcher in the Giants' San Francisco era to make 200 career starts for the club. He joined another short and distinct list by logging 200 innings for the fifth consecutive season. Still just 26 years old, he already ranks as one of the most durable pitching presences in franchise history.

Yet Cain couldn't enjoy the view. His career record fell to 68-72 and he is just 11-10 this season after allowing a tiebreaking, sixth-inning single in the Giants' 3-1 loss to the San Diego Padres."
