Matt Cain made his 2015 debut Tuesday in a rehab start for Giants Double-A affiliate Richmond, throwing 3 2/3 innings while allowing two runs on three hits. He walked one and struck out two.
It has been 11 months to the day since Cain last pitched in an official game, throwing six innings in a 5-2 win over the A’s on July 9, 2014. He went on the disabled list late that month before undergoing season-ending surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow in August.
Cain did make four appearance in spring training this season, but started the season on the disabled list due to forearm tightness.
The Flying Squirrels won Tuesday’s game with the Portland Sea Dogs 4-3. Kelvin Marte worked four innings in relief to earn the win, improving his record to 5-0. Josh Osich worked a perfect ninth to tab his 15th save.
Ricky Oropesa and the recently signed Engel Beltre had two hits apiece for Richmond. Earlier in the day, Oropesa was named the Eastern League Player of the Month. The left-handed hitting first baseman hit .343 in May, tabbing six home runs and 25 RBIs. Oropesa was a third-round draft pick in 2011 out of University of Southern California.
