05/04/2006 12:00 AM ET Schmidt's shutout paces Giants Righty earns 18th complete game; Bonds hitless in four at-bats By Rich Draper / MLB.com Mike Matheny (left) reaches over the Brewers dugout fence to catch a pop on Wednesday. (Jeffrey Phelps/AP) MILWAUKEE -- With apologies to P.T. Barnum, the Giants pulled off one of the greatest shows of the season on Wednesday night, with all the spectacular elements of a three-ring circus in their 2-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. There was pitcher Jason Schmidt cracking the whip on his fastball and mind- bending changeup, taming a tough-hitting Brewers lineup featuring lions Carlos Lee, Prince Fielder and Bill Hall to the tune of only five hits. Schmidt evened his record to 2-2 and notched his ninth career shutout, ending a drama-filled ninth inning with two Milwaukee runners on base by whiffing Fielder on -- get this -- three unhittable changeups. This was the cool, confident Schmitty that Giants fans routinely saw in 2002 and 2003, when the right-hander was in contention for the National League Cy Young Award. There was a Houdini act as well, with slugger Barry Bonds -- knocked dizzy when hit in the head by a batting practice foul ball -- amazingly recovering quickly enough to play nine offensive innings, going 0-for-4 without a homer. Fireworks came from third baseman Pedro Feliz, who is struggling offensively, but has a knack of rising to the occasional with men on base, as he hit a two- run homer in the second inning off Brewers starter Dave Bush (2-3), giving Schmidt all the runs he needed. Then there was Mike Matheny's daredevil catch of a Hall foul pop in the fifth frame -- the catcher leaned over the Brewers dugout railing, hung on with his hand and spun athletically while holding onto the ball -- that was as stunning as a high-wire act. It was Schmidt's first shutout since defeating Pittsburgh, 7-0, on Aug. 12, 2004, at PNC Park. The right-hander's 19th career complete game helped San Francisco ignite its five-game road trip with a victory and end a three-game losing streak. There was a moment, however, when it might not have happened. In the ninth, manager Felipe Alou came to the mound with the runners on and Armando Benitez warming up in the bullpen. But no, Felipe kept Schmidt in. "I thought he was going to [take me out]," said Schmidt. "He came out and said , 'How do you feel? Do you want to go after this guy?' and he said, 'OK, you're the man. Let's do it.' "Surprising -- I'm glad he left me out there," said Schmidt, who threw 112 efficient pitches and fanned seven Brewers. "I was just trying to get [Fielder] out. When you look up there, every guy coming up there was hitting three-something with 11 homers. I knew they had a good team, could hit with pop and good average." But the 33-year-old Schmidt had super location and said that once Feliz hit the homer, it gave him a smidgen of breathing room. While saying the opposition popped up bad pitches and good ones as well, it was obvious from the onset that Schmidt was on his game. Matheny said that Alou instilled more confidence in Schmidt at the end. "That was cool," said the catcher. "We left and let Jason do his thing. I was very impressed. He had a good idea in his mind what he wanted to do and executed it. He used all his pitches and used them smart -- [he] mixed them up . And late, when it got down and dirty, he made better pitches. As for his Olympic-style "10" on the low bar, Matheny was just glad that the foul was within reach and that some good friends in the Brewers dugout -- including bench coach Robin Yount -- were close in case he fell. "There are good people over there," said Matheny. "I made a reach for it and managed to get it in my glove." Rich Draper is a reporter for MLB.com.
