Cain was rocked for six runs in 4.2 innings Thursday against the Rockies in Coors. He struck out seven and only walked one.

EDGE Analysis

This was an interesting start to analyze. Cain got off to a great start by shutting down the Rockies the first time through the order. He looked like the "old Cain" and was using his slider effectively and even touched 93 MPH on the gun with his fastball. Things unraveled in the fifth when he gave up a solo-shot to Gerardo Parra, following that up with a couple of weak singles, a double and walk before being pulled from the game. He was on the hook for the stranded runners and reliever Chris Heston wasn't able to prevent them from scoring. So while this start looks poor on paper, there were certainly some positives to take away. His 10:2 K:BB ratio in 10.2 innings looks closer to his All-Star form rather than the broken down version we have seen over the past couple of seasons. Cain is off the radar in standard leagues right now, but his next start at home against Arizona could be appealing for those in deeper leagues.
