The San Francisco Giants were barely hanging on at the end. Cain threw five-hit ball to snap his three-game losing streak, but the Giants narrowly avoided another loss to Atlanta in the final at-bat, preserving a 7-5 victory over the Braves on Wednesday night. After Cain turned over a 7-1 lead, the Braves scored four runs and had the tying run at the plate. Brian McCann struck out swing- ing against Jeremy Affeldt. ''I think we won,'' manager Bruce Bochy quipped. ''Just when you think you have chance to cross your legs for a second, we're facing the tying run up there.'' The Giants broke it open with four runs in the fourth, one of them driven in by Cain (10-9) on a sacrifice fly. But he did his best work on the mound, striking out nine and giving up only an unearned run in the first on Chip- per Jones' bases-loaded walk. Cain started working out of the stretch exclusively, even while retiring the last 18 hitters he faced. ''Mechanically, in the windup, I wasn't quite going right,'' he said. ''So I switched to the stretch to try to keep stuff a little more in line and found that good rhythm and just tried to stay with it.'' San Francisco pounded All- Star Jair Jurrjens (12-5), taking advantage of a pitcher who was- n't sharp in his first start coming off the disabled list. He surren- dered eight hits and five runs in six innings. ''I felt good,'' Jurrjens insist- a ed. ''I just left some pitches up. I was a little rusty.'' The Braves won the first two games of the series, rallying for three runs in the ninth for a 5-4 victory Monday, then pulling out a 2-1 win in 11 innings on Tues- day. They nearly did it again, closing to 7-5 on Martin Prado's two-run double after Giants shortstop Orlando Cabrera dropped Michael Bourn's soft blooper behind the mound to extend the inning. Affeldt got McCann on a 3-2 pitch. ''You don't want to go down without a fight,'' Atlanta's Fred- die Freeman said. ''At least we gave them a little scare at the end.'' Once the Giants pushed their margin above three runs, Atlanta was in trouble. San Francisco improved to 32-0 when leading by at least three runs, the majors' only undefeated team in those sit- uations. The win came at a good time for the struggling Giants, who've been plagued by injuries and were knocked out of first in the NL West with a stretch of only five wins in 18 games. They closed to 2 1/2 games behind Ari- zona in the division race and with five games of wild card-leading Atlanta. The Giants broke open a 1-all game in the fourth. Aubrey Huff led off with a double, Nate Schierholtz singled and Cabrera brought home the go-ahead run with the third hit in a row. Bran- don Belt walked to load the bases, and Eli Whiteside pushed the lead to 3-1 with another run-scoring single. Back-to-back drives to the warning track made it 5-1. Cain hit a sacrifice fly to deep center, and Cody Ross followed with a liner that was caught in front of the left-field wall, allowing Belt to trot home. Jurrjens wasn't exactly fooling the Giants even when his team- mates caught the ball. Schierholtz hit one to the track in right that was hauled in by Jose Constanza. San Francisco closer Brian Wilson wasn't available to pitch after flying to Florida to have his See GIANTS, page 2B Debbie Morisch, Gabe Rodriguez, Chris Hurton, Haley Matheson, Steve Baer, Mike Skelton, Ron Davis and Ken Garner. Banged up Raiders lose CB Johnson NAPA (AP) — The Oakland Raiders will be without project- ed starting cornerback Chris Johnson for their preseason game against the 49ers on Satur- day night and might also play without center Samson Satele. As if that wasn't enough, wide receiver Louis Murphy will be sidelined indefinitely and likely miss the team's regular- season opener after undergoing a medical procedure. With running back Darren McFadden already out with a fractured orbital bone, the Raiders are spending more time in the trainer's room than on the field. ''I told you I'm going to be very cautious with our football team,'' coach Hue Jackson said. ''I don't bat an eye at those things when a guy goes down or a guy's out of here. I don't like it for our players, but you can't worry about that.'' Jackson revealed that Johnson underwent a medical procedure that will keep him sidelined against San Francisco. Jackson declined to discuss specifics of See RAIDERS, page 2B CSNB From U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
