Cain helps Giants avoid sweep against Cubs

<h3>SAN FRANCISCO 4, CHICAGO CUBS 1</h3>By Ryan Leong
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer


SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Matt Cain has not received much runsupport this season, so on Thursday he took matters into his ownhands.


The righthander hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning andoutpitched Carlos Zambrano to help the San Francisco Giantssalvage the finale of a three-game series with a 4-1 victoryover the Chicago Cubs.


Cain (6-13) pitched seven superb innings, allowing one run andseven hits. The 22-year-old, who struck out four and walkedone, received at least four runs of support in just seven of hisprevious 25 outings this season.


Brian Wilson worked a perfect eighth and Brad Hennessey pitcheda scoreless ninth to record his 13th save.


For the Cubs, Zambrano (14-10) made his first start since beingsigned to a lucrative five year, $91.5 million contractextension that will keep him in Chicago through at least the2012 season.


Zambrano lasted 5 1/3 innings, allowing six hits and four runs.He struck out four and walked four.


The game was scoreless until the fourth, when Rich Auriliareached on a forceout. Omar Vizquel and Cain walked to load thebases, and Dave Roberts followed with a two-run single to rightfield, giving the Giants the lead.


In the sixth, Guillermo Rodriguez hit a ground-rule double toleft before Cain drilled a high, arching drive that barelycleared the left field wall. Of Cain's four hits this season,two are home runs.


The Cubs were kept off the scoreboard until the seventh. JasonKendall led off with a double and scored on a single to centerby Mike Fontenot.


Randy Winn had three hits for the Giants, who rested sluggerBarry Bonds.


With the loss, Chicago (65-61) saw its lead over idle Milwaukee(65-62) in the National League Central Division shrink toone-half game.
