Cain working on improving control

Matt Cain allowed one run on four hits, walked two and struck out four over six innings in Monday’s start vs. the White Sox. Cain hasn’t exactly been stellar this spring (6.29 ERA), but he’s showed improved control with just six walks allowed over 24 1/3 innings. "I'd rather them get a hit than put them on first," the right-hander said. "It's more of a mental thing -- just challenge guys and be confident that my stuff will get them out." Cain certainly has the stuff to get batters out, as he held them to a miniscule .222 batting average in 2006, so it’s good to see that he’s working toward lowering last year’s lofty 4.1 BB/9 IP ratio.
