Cain tries to stop Giants' slide against Padres

Apr 9, 2007 - 2:55 PM San Francisco (1-5) at San Diego (4-2) 10:05 pm EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- The San Francisco Giants are hoping Matt Cain can do what Barry Zito could not - stop a losing streak.

Cain takes the mound Monday when the Giants visit the San Diego Padres for the second series already this season.

San Francisco lost its third straight game Sunday largely because Zito, who signed a seven-year, $126 million deal in the offseason, allowed eight runs in six innings.

Cain (0-0) picked up a no decision in his first start, allowing three runs in six innings against the Padres. The 22-year-old righthander is being counted on to improve on his 13-12, 4.15 ERA in 2006.

Chris Young (0-0) opposes Cain for the second time. Young also picked up a no decision the first time, allowing three runs in 5 2/3 innings in San Diego's 5-3 win.
