Superb pitching has the San Francisco Giants surging. It also has the New York Mets baffled. Matt Cain will try to give the Giants another stellar effort on the mound Saturday night and help San Francisco beat the sputtering Mets for the third straight game. San Francisco has won four straight and nine of 11 to get back into the thick of the NL West race. Outstanding pitching has been the biggest reason.Barry Zito turned in the latest stellar effort Friday, going eight innings and combining with closer Brian Wilson on a three-hitter in a 1-0 win over the Mets. That came one night after ace Tim Lincecum opened this four-game series with a six-hitter in a 2-0 Giants victory. New York hasn’t shown much punch at the plate recently, batting .222 and totaling six runs during a 1-5 stretch that’s included three shutout losses. The Mets are trying to avoid being shut out three times in a row for the first time since July 25-27, 1992.
Cain will try to take advantage of the struggling Mets to get his first win since June 13, when he capped a personal four-game winning streak by beating Oakland. The right-hander is 0-4 with a 7.45 ERA in five starts since compiling a 0.55 ERA in his previous four. Cain was roughed up in his most recent outing July 9, giving up eight runs - four in the seventh - and 11 hits including two homers in 6 2-3 innings of an 8-1 loss at Washington. Cain is 3-3 with a 4.26 ERA in seven starts versus the Mets. He limited them to three runs over 13 1-3 innings in two starts last year. Both games resulted in San Francisco wins, with Cain getting credit for one. Injuries are becoming a nuisance for the Mets, who are five games behind NL East-leading Atlanta after losing the first two contests of their key 11-game road trip. Shortstop Jose Reyes was a late scratch Thursday due to pain in his right side, and will not be available until at least Sunday.
