Matt Cain allowed one unearned run against the Oakland Athletics and lost 1-0. This is the sixth time this season Matt allowed two runs or less in a game, and the Giants are 2-4 in those contests.

Gio Gonzalez allowed just two hits in his eight innings of work while walking one and striking out five. He only threw 95 pitches, but Bob Geren decided he’d be better off with Andrew Baily. The A’s closer gave up a hit and a walk, but not a run as he struck out two. The win brings the A’s back to .500.
