#217---LA @ CHN, 8/14/2004


 

Kerry Wood did it all on this afternoon at Wrigley. He pitched eight shutout innings, walking three and fanning seven. He ran into some trouble in the eighth, walking two and loading the bases, but struck out Adrian Beltre to end it and his outing (with 121 pitches because why not). More notably, though, he opened the scoring when he jumped on the first pitch Kaz Ishii threw in the third for a homer to left.

There are a couple names that seem a bit out of place on this one – Steve Finley, Jayson Werth, and a young David Ross as Dodgers, Nomar as a Cub.

Scoring note: Izturis K in the fifth is circled because it came on a foul bunt. That’s not how I would score it now (K with the squiggly line I use for bunt beneath it), and I’m not sure why he was bunting in an 0-2 hole with two outs and David Ross at first.
