Matt Cain exited Wednesday's start against the Rockies with a right hamstring strain. It appeared that he sustained the injury on the final pitch of the third inning. Cain was dealing before the injury, keeping the Rockies hitless while striking out three in his three innings of work. A trip to the 15-day disabled list could be in Cain's immediate future.

Matt Cain left after the third inning of Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a possible right hamstring injury. Cain caught Charlie Blackmon looking to end the third, but he appeared to be in some discomfort walking off the mound after the inning. Yusemiero Petit started the fourth inning in Cain's place. The right-hander didn't allow a hit or a walk in his three innings of work, striking out three, before exiting. The Giants should update his status after the game.

The right-hander wasn't exactly sharp -- he struck out seven and walked three -- but he really didn't need to be with Giants hitters battering Miami starter Nate Eovaldi. It looked like Cain would be the one chased from the contest prematurely after he served up a solo home run to Derek Dietrich in the first inning and a two-run Garrett Jones blast in the second. The veteran got it together eventually, hurling 3 2/3 shutout innings from the fourth on to earn his first victory of the year. Cain, now 1-3 with a 4.33 ERA and 1.31 WHIP, hits the road to face the dangerous Rockies' lineup in Coors next week.
