Left fielder Melky Cabrera chased down Chris Snyder's one-out flyball in the sixth, scurrying back to make a leaping catch at the wall. Cain raised both arms and slapped his glove in delight when Cabrera made the play.Here's Blanco's catch. And here's Cain finishing the game.
Then, right fielder Gregor Blanco ran into deep right-center to make a diving catch on the warning track and rob Jordan Schafer for the first out of the seventh.
"Those were unbelievable catches," Cain said. "I mean that right there, that changes the whole thing."

Given how Phil Humber has tanked since he pitched his earlier this year, I don't know if I would be too happy. He is about ready to be sent to the minors.
Thanks for the links. Wonderful
A perfect game is 81 strikes (sometimes 72).
It's cool to see great catches, but even cooler to see them in service of a no-no.
I wouldn't worry too much...Phil Humber is no Matt Cain.
Blanco's catch was amazing.
Thanks much Althouse. Being an old fuck I never see West Coast games.
MadisonMan you're correct. Cain owes Blanco a new car..he makes 50 times what Blanco earns.
And I learn today that a friend from Kindergarten was at the game. Cool!
Cain also tied Koufax with the most strikeouts in a perfect game (14).
Watched it last night on the TV.
Amazing.
Matt Cain is a horse.
Inning after inning after inning.
Great that it happened for him.
In his early years, no run support, so lots of losses - but he was always a better pitcher than that.
Solid guy too.
And, his wife is hot.
Smokin' hot.
I mean, like, wow.
And yeah, Blanco's catch surely made Willie proud.
The game was really one of the best and it's so perfect for me. it would be really a challenging game after he tossed it. oh by the way, just want to share what I've got. I just purchased this San Francisco Giants Shirts. I really liked it.
