What makes a masterpiece matt cain

It was the fifth no-hitter in the majors already this season and second perfect game. In the very ballpark where Barry Bonds made home run history five summers ago, Cain produced the signature moment for pitchers. It was the 14th no-hitter in club history - Mathewson pitched Nos. Left fielder Melky Cabrera chased down Chris Snyder's one-out flyball in the sixth, scurrying back to make a leaping catch at the wall. Cain raised both arms and slapped his glove in delight when Cabrera made the play.

Then, right fielder Gregor Blanco ran into deep right-center to make a diving catch on the warning track and rob Jordan Schafer for the first out of the seventh. The year-old pitcher hugged Blanco in the dugout after the inning. This is the second time in three years there have been two perfect games in the same season - before that, the only other time it happened was in Braden tweeted Wednesday night: "What a beautiful game. A special memory ill tell someones kids about!

Not since have there been five no-hitters in a season by mid-June. The only year that came close was , when Fernando Valenzuela and Dave Stewart each pitched no-hitters on June 29 - the fourth and fifth of the season. The Astros were no-hit for the fifth time and first since Carlos Zambrano did so for the Cubs on Sept.

The Giants made a big commitment to Cain this spring, locking him up for a long haul - and he showed exactly why general manager Brian Sabean has vowed to keep his talented pitchers. In a week when the city's attention turned to golf and the U. Open, Cain delivered his most impressive gem yet in his th career start. This certainly meant as much or more to the homegrown pitcher.

We met at an awards show — I think he was on our table or was helping with our table or something. He was quite loud, all, "Hi darling, how are you," and I was like, "Oh my god, who is this person? A few years later he said he wanted to do a South Bank Show programme about me.

He asked a few times, but I was very wary, because it was him. But eventually I agreed and the first time we properly met was when we started actually filming. He came to my dressing-room and kept asking questions. I think I said something like, "When I'm on stage I still feel shit about myself," and he was like, "Why, darling, why? But he actually came into my life at a great time — I'd just become a lot happier. I'd written an album coming out of a relationship and was enjoying work.

We spent six months doing the documentary and because we were spending so much time together, because he wouldn't get off my back, we became closer. When it was finished, I remember thinking now it's over, will we remain friends? We just carried on as before. We started going to the theatre and talking a lot on the phone. Weirdly, having thought that we were so different to begin with, we discovered we were actually quite similar.

At the end of last year I became an executive producer on the Coriolanus film. I asked Matt if he would do a documentary on it. Episode 1. Matthew Cain. Christopher Booker. Gurindha Chada. Executive producer. Dinah Lord. Daisy Goodwin. Series director.
