Cain, Hirsh square off as Giants visit Rockies

Apr 17, 2007 - 1:45 PM San Francisco (4-7) at Colorado (5-8) 8:35 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- Talented young righthanders Matt Cain and Jason Hirsh duel when the San Francisco Giants face the Colorado Rockies in the finale of a two-game series on Tuesday.

Cain (0-1, 2.77 ERA) has allowed four runs in 13 innings, but is still seeking his first win of the season. He was 13-13 last season, throwing 203 2/3 innings.

Cain took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of a loss against San Diego on April 9.

The Rockies acquired Hirsh (1-1, 3.09) from Houston in the trade for Jason Jennings. The 25-year-old Hirsh has allowed four runs in 11 2/3 innings with Colorado.

Barry Zito earned his first win with the Giants, pitching six scoreless innings in an 8-0 win here on Monday. The lefthander signed a seven-year, $126 million contract - the richest for a pitcher in baseball history - in the offseason.
