MLB Game Of The Day
Wednesday May 8,1985
AT
Candlestick Park,San Francisco,Ca.

Leading 1-0 after 7,thanks to a Chili Davis solo homer in the bottom of the 1st,Giants starter Mike Krukow was six outs away from the first Giants no hitter in nearly 9 years.With the crowd roaring,Krukow struck out Shawn Dunston,walked Billy Hatcher and struck out Thad Bosley,bringing up catcher Jody Davis with two outs and a man on first.Undaunted,Davis crushed a 2-2 curveball,sending it over the wall in left center field,breaking up the no-no,and more importantly putting Chicago ahead 2-1.A dejected Krukow fanned Cubs pitcher Rick Sutcliffe to end the inning.The game would remain 2-1 entering the bottom of the 9th,where Cubs closer Lee Smith hoped to earn his 12th save of the season,it wouldn't happen.Instead,the Giants Chris Brown laced an RBI single to left,tying the game at 2-2 and sending it into extra frames where in the bottom of the 11th,the Giants won the game on a Reggie Patterson wild pitch that allowed 1B David Green to score easily from 3rd giving San Francisco the stunning 3-2 victory.The story though,remained Mike Krukow,who's final line looked like this:
8 IP/1 H/2 ER/3 BB/10 K
