Cain was brilliant Tuesday, tossing eight innings of two-run ball while striking out seven in the loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
This was a vintage performance for Cain, as he was dominant on the mound but also received no run support whatsoever. Anyone who had the foresight to start him against the powerful Jays lineup deserves every bit of this start. Cain was aided by a cold and windy night, surrendering a home run but narrowly escaping a couple others that would have been homers in other ballparks. This outing brought Cain's ERA down to 6.69, so no one is rushing to the waiver wire to grab him. We would need to see a string of strong performances before thinking of Cain as anything more than a streamer in soft home matchups in NL-only leagues.
