On the Giants Podcast with Miguel:

1 Matt Cain’s role as reliever and how it will work out. Cain pitched an inning of relief on Monday night against the Milwaukee Brewers and got the Giants out of that inning

2 Jeff Samardzija had another great performance going innings, six hits, two runs both earned

3 Despite the loss Samardjiza improved his record going forward since July 21st to 4-1 and lowered his ERA to 3.43

4. Pablo Sandoval has actually played a lot better than expected coming out of Boston where he was dubbed a flop but since return to San Francisco has hit .280.

5. Hunter Pence says his hamstring was tightening up on him since Monday night and is currently out of the line up but knowing Pence he’ll get  better quick and get back in the line up
