SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Matt Cain authored the second perfect game of the 2012 baseball season in the San Francisco Giants’ 10-0 whitewash of Houston last night. Cain fanned 14 and joined Phil Humber of the Chicago White Sox with the second perfect game and fifth hitless game of the season.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey allowed only an infield single in the first inning of his second career one-hitter and broke the New York Mets’ record for consecutive scoreless innings in a 9-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays last night. Dickey, who improved to 10-1, broke Jerry Koosman’s club record by going 32 and two-thirds scoreless innings before allowing a run in the bottom of the ninth.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Lance Lynn joined R.A. Dickey as the majors’ first 10-game winners. The St. Louis hurler struck out a career-high 12 and Carlos Beltran hit his NL-best 19th home run in the Cardinals’ 1-0 victory over the White Sox that ended Chicago’s eight-game road winning streak.
