Cain takes no-no into 8th, beat Rockies

[whitstatman]

DENVER -- Matt Cain carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and finished the job himself, pitching the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 victory over the fading Colorado Rockies on Sunday.

It was a timely performance for the stingy Giants, who began the day a half-game behind first-place San Diego in the NL West. The Rockies, who have dropped six of seven, lost ground in the division race but remained 3 1/2 games back of Atlanta in the wild-card standings.

Pretty dominant performance by Matt Cain, I really like his pitching style, it mirrors myself, give or take 25 mph on his fastball. lol.

the Giants are going to be scary in the playoffs with Cain, Lincecum, and Sanchez
