From Rotoworld: Carrasco fell to 10-4 after giving up five runs in 6 1/3 innings Friday against the A’s. Carrasco struck out 10, but five of the six hits he gave up went for extra bases and all but one of those led to a run. The loss was his first since June 3 and second since April 28.
Cain was moved to the bullpen after the Giants activated Madison Bumgarner from the disabled list last week. Cain finds himself back in the rotation due to Johnny Cueto landing on the disabled list due to a blister. Cain has been horrendous this season.
