The Giants ace has never thrown a no-hitter at any level, so he pondered that this might just be his day to do it — and with all the hype of the home open- er, no less. He nearly pulled it off, until the opposing pitcher spoiled a most impressive bid. James McDonald became the lone baserunner of the afternoon for Pitts- burgh. allowing only a two-out sin- gle in the sixth inning to McDonald during a near- perfect performance Friday as the San Francisco Giants Cain tossed a one-hitter, Sports beat the Pirates 5-0 in their home opener. Cain knew something else as he rolled along: McDonald is a capable hit- ter, even if his numbers say otherwise. ''I was definitely aware noon and faced only one three-ball count while retir- ing the first 17 batters in order. Cain struck out 11 and produced just the gem the Giants needed as they returned from a rough road trip for a homestand that also includes three games with the Phillies. Pitching 11 days after signing a new $127.5 mil- lion, six-year contract — a record for a right-hander — Cain worked ahead all after- of it but I'm thinking there, 'I'm behind in the count 2-1 but I'm throwing something to the outer third of the plate,'' Cain said. ''He put a good swing on it. He did his job. He can hit. I knew that going into it that he can swing the bat well.'' sive 106-pitch outing in all of 2 hours, 10 minutes. McDonald, a career .069 hitter coming into the game, hit a sharp single to left field. He felt a little strange being the one to break up the per- fecto.

''It def- initely pumps you up when you get the home opener and the fans are coming out.'' Cain (1-0) pitched his third career one-hitter, his fifth shutout and his 14th complete game.

McDonald (0-1) allowed three runs on six hits in 5 2- 3 innings, struck out one and walked three. Huff hit a two-run homer in the eighth. Nate Schier- holtz had a pair of singles and drove in a run in the sixth for the Giants, who came home from a 2-4 road trip in which they were swept in three one-run loss- es at defending division champion Arizona before taking two of three from the Rockies at Coors Field. McDonald produced his Arena deal crumbles, Kings' future murky NEW YORK (AP) — The Kings' future in Sacramento is uncertain again. A tentative deal for a new arena has fall- en apart, leaving open the possibility the team's owners could again try to move from California's capital. ''Is the deal dead? As we know it, absolutely,'' Sacra- mento Mayor Kevin Johnson said Friday. The Maloof family has balked at terms of the agreement reached last month, and though they say they want to remain in Sacramento, Johnson isn't so sure after meeting with them Friday and hearing their list of concerns he said hadn't pre- viously been disclosed. ''It just feels like they were coming up with reasons of why not to do the deal,'' Johnson said. So a year after Johnson came to New York to begin his fight to save the team, his city is in jeopardy of losing it all over again. Admitting he was angry and questioning the Maloofs' trustworthiness, Johnson praised his city's efforts but said he doesn't know what will happen now. ''They are now saying they don't want to do the deal, which essentially means they don't want to be in Sacramen- to, and that's very, very disappointing,'' he said. The Kings say otherwise. ''We are committed to remaining the Sacramento Kings,'' the team said in a statement. But they stressed, as did Commissioner David Stern, that the deal was ''always nonbinding,'' and the Maloofs always had the right to decide they were no longer comfortable with the terms. ''The negotiations that have occurred surrounding, as Commissioner Stern said repeatedly today during his news conference a 'non-binding framework,' never resulted in a deal that was good for the City or good for the team,'' the Kings said. It was a stunningly swift and disappointing result for Sacramento officials who thought they were on their way to holding onto the team just weeks ago. They had met with the Maloofs and league officials during the NBA's All-Star weekend in Orlando in February, celebrating a tentative deal to fund the estimated $391 million arena that would open for the 2015-16 season in the downtown Sacramento rail yards. Co-owner Gavin Maloof was in tears then in a joint announcement of the deal, which the Sacramento City Council passed its end of in early March. The deal was bro- kered by the league — with the Maloofs' permission, according to Johnson — and tentatively agreed to by the Kings. But Joe, Gavin and George Maloof had since taken issue with some of the terms — particularly environmental and pre-development costs that Johnson said made up less than 1 percent of the project's cost. Under the agreement, the Kings and arena operator AEG each agreed to pay about $3.25 million in pre-development costs with the city paying the remaining $6.5 million.

''If they had done it simpler, earlier or more directly, it could have saved a lot of angst and trouble.'' The Maloofs made a presentation to owners Thursday, which they shared at a separate news conference Friday.

''It just became clear that they're not willing to honor what we laid out,'' Johnson said.
