[情報] 白襪隊Garcia9局一安打"敗投"
With an ice wrap on his right arm,a beverage in hand and a determined look
on his face,Freddy Garcia strode to the back of the clubhouse to check out
game video following Minnesota's 1-0 victory Tuesday night before 33,572 at
the Metrodome.
Garcia had particular interest in one pitch and one pitch alone, a 1-2
curveball to Jacque Jones leading off the eighth inning.The big right-hander
had held the Twins hitless up until that oint,with only one truly viable
chance for a hot during the first seven innings.
But Garcia's place in hidtory was altered in a split second, as Jones took a
hanging curve and deposited it 423 feet away over the center-field fence.
Jones'18th home run,and second in gis career against Garcia, stood up as the
game-winner in support of Johan Santana(13-6)during a pitchers' duel between
two of Venezuela's favorite sond that should have fans in their home country
and the United States alike buzzing for days to come.
After looking at the tape,Garcia felt the pitchwasn't in a bad location,
but that Jones appeared to know what was coming. Garcia lnew what was going
to happwn after Jones made contact,taking a deep knee bend on the mound,
shaking his gead and holding his glove up for a new baseball.
"I think he wanted to put it in the dirt, but he got it up,"said Jones.
"One pitch...What can I say?" added Garcia, who threw 95 pitches during the
11th complete game of his career."At 1-2, I have two more pitches to go,
and I should have thrown another changeup. Iwent to a slow breaking pitch,
and thats what happenes."
