The San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 on Tuesday and grabbed a 2-1 lead in the National League Championship Series behind the strong pitching of right-hander Matt Cain.
Cain allowed two hits and struck out five batters through seven innings before relievers Javier Lopez and closer Brian Wilson sealed the win.
"To be able to pitch in the post-season is great," Cain told reporters. "To be able to go out there and throw the ball well and help your team win is a great feeling."
