| (Best E Casino) - Mike Hampton takes another crack at earning his first major league victory in three years when the always-injured hurler takes the mound for the Atlanta Braves in tonight's test with the San Francisco Giants from AT&T Park.

The left-hander was understandably rusty on that day and wound up with a no-decision after giving up six runs in four innings. He returned |

| (Best E Casino) - Poor run support has doomed Matt Cain all season long, and that isn't likely to change anytime soon. The San Francisco Giants hurler will take the hill tonight in the opener of a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves at AT&T Park. Cain went just 7-16 in 32 starts last year despite an earned run average of 3.65. Things haven't been much better in 2008 for the right-hander, as he is 6-9 with a 3.70 ERA. Cain was outstanding last month for the Giants, posting a 1.88 ERA in six July starts, |
