    For a team that barely made it to the playoffs, the San Francisco Giants are looking more and more like a baseball juggernaut.

    Matt Cain pitched 7 2/3 innings and combined with his bullpen on a four-hitter, Edgar Renteria reprised his October success with a home run and three RBIs, and San Francisco broke away for a 9-0 win Thursday night and a 2-0 Series lead.

    "We've put ourselves in a good situation," said Cain, who hasn't allowed an earned run in the postseason. "We've just got to take that confidence and some of the good approaches that we've had into these last two games and take them down to Texas with us."

    Forty of the previous 51 teams to take a 2-0 lead have gone on to win the title, including seven straight and 13 of the past 14.
