No pitcher has been tougher to hit at home than Matt Cain. The Chicago Cubs know how tough he can be. The San Francisco Giants look for Cain to continue his dominant form at AT&T Park on Thursday when they complete a four-game set against the Cubs. Cain is 6-3 with a 2.48 ERA in 11 home starts, limiting hitters to a major league-best .187 average. The Giants have won six of his last seven starts at AT&T Park and he’s pitched at least seven innings in each victory. The right-hander is 4-1 with a 2.17 ERA in five career starts there against the Cubs. They have batted .168 against Cain in eight outings for the lowest average against him by any NL team.

The Giants had won four straight starts by Cain overall before Saturday’s 3-0 loss at Atlanta, where he went five innings and gave up all three runs. The right-hander was 3-0 with a 1.52 ERA in his previous four outings. San Francisco will have to avoid looking ahead to Friday’s opener of a three-game home series with NL West leader San Diego. The Giants trail the Padres by 2 1/2 games, and Jonathan Sanchez - Friday’s starter - already has boldly guaranteed a sweep. Before that big series, San Francisco will try to take advantage of a depleted Chicago team. The Cubs scratched Aramis Ramirez an hour before the first pitch of Wednesday’s 5-4 loss with a sore ribcage, and first baseman Derrek Lee is on the bereavement list and can’t play before Friday.
