What’s the most dominant game that a pitcher can pitch?
一个投手于一场比赛的巅峰造极之作为何呢？
The knee-jerk reaction is probably to say, "a perfect game." But today’s
date, May 6, evokes the anniversary of an ever-so-slightly imperfect game
that might actually have the best case of all.
大家应该会下意识回答“完全比赛”。但22年前的今天（美国时间5月6日），这场那么
些许不完美的比赛也许是上面那问题的最佳解答。
Twenty-two years ago today, 20-year-old Kerry Wood scraped the ceiling of
pitching performance with a record-tying 20-strikeout, one-hit masterpiece
against the Astros at Wrigley Field. It was the fifth start of Wood’s
career, and he woke up that day with a 5.89 ERA and 12 walks over his first
18 1/3 innings as a big leaguer. Wood’s first pitches at Wrigley portended
more of the same; they came in a disastrous warmup that he cut short,
figuring if he had anything that day, he’d better save it for the game.
二十二年前的今天，20岁的Kerry Wood在Wrigley Field对上太空人队时投出这追平纪录
的20三振，并只挨一安打的顶天表现。这只是Wood生涯的第五场先发，而在此之前他在
大联盟生涯的18.1局中的防御率为5.89，并投出12次保送。Wood在那天Wrigley的头几球
似乎预告著和之前类似的结果；毕竟他那天暖身不足，所以如果他有何看家本领，最好
是留到比赛时再来慢慢发挥。
Then, Wood unleashed perhaps the most devastating set of pitches ever seen
from a Major League mound. When Wood struck out Derek Bell swinging to end
the Cubs’ 2-0 win over the Astros in a crisp two hours and 19 minutes, he
had tied Roger Clemens’ all-time record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game
and refused to yield even a single walk. Houston’s only baserunners came
when Ricky Gutierrez’s grounder glanced off third baseman Kevin Orie’s
glove for a third-inning single (a play that Cubs fans begged to be ruled an
error as Wood’s masterpiece progressed) and when Wood plunked Craig Biggio
with a curveball in the sixth.
然后呢，Wood展现了或许是大联盟史上最具破坏性的投球。当Wood借由让Derek Bell挥
空三振助小熊队在两小时19分钟以二比零击败太空人队时。Wood追平了Roger Clemens所
创下的九局比赛最高三振纪录，而且没有投出任何四坏保送。太空人唯二的上垒人次是
Ricky Gutierrez三局上一记由擦过三垒手Kevin Orie手套的滚地球所形成的一垒安打（
随着比赛趋向不凡，小熊球迷开始央求这支安打以失误记录），以及Wood于六局上以曲
球砸中Craig Biggio造成的触身球。
“We knew we were in trouble in the first inning,” Gutierrez recalled.
“我们在第一局的时候就知道大事不妙了。”Gutierrez回忆道。
By one metric, Wood’s Wrigley afternoon is the most dominant nine-inning
performance of the Modern Era
