It’s only opening day and San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain is already earning his millions! The 27-year-old was just 3 innings away from throwing a no-hitter, but thanks to the Pirates’ pitcher he had to settle for his third career 1-hitter.

Of course the Pirates' pitcher James MacDonald breaks up Matt Cain's perfect game in the 6th w/ a single.

Matt Cain gave up one base runner today. That was a hit to the pitcher in the 6th. That's about as close as you can get.

Matt Cain throws a 1 hitter (hit was by the pitcher). #SFGiants win their opener 5-0. Thats why he's paid the big bucks. #$ #MLB

Matt Cain made that game seem way too easy. Perfect game foiled by the pitcher of all people. Not bad for opening day, way to go @SFGiants.

Matt Cain 1-hitter shut out. Amazing. I just hope the Pirates don't do what the Rockies did after Zito's SO.
