Matt Cain pitches 7 2/3 shutout innings as the Giants defeat the Rangers 9-0 in the second game of the 2010 World Series. Cain faced 29 batters, 25 put the ball in play, and 13 of those were fly balls. Only one of those went for a hit as Ian Kinsler missed a home run by inches. Cain demonstrated his ability to get batters to put the ball in the air but keep those in the park.

Despite the score, the game was close. There was no score until Edgar Renteria hit a home run in the bottom of the fifth, and until a seven run eighth, the game could have gone either way. Edgar drove in three in the game, while Juan Uribe lived up to his name with two more RBI, giving him five for the series.

C.J. Wilson pitched well for Texas, but a blister forced him out of the game. He allowed three hits and two walks in six innings, but the bullpen gave up five hits and four walks in two innings.

The Giants knocked out eight hits, four for extra bases. In the series, 11 of the Giants 22 hits have gone for extra bases as they are out-powering the Giants.

Texas needs to win two at home to send the series back to San Francisco next week.
