The Giants' Matt Cain threw five innings in Game 1, giving up three runs on a pair of home runs by Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce and taking the loss. Mat Latos was originally scheduled to be the Game 3 starter, but came out of the bullpen to relieve an injured Johnny Cueto. He threw four innings and allowed only one run.
