"It does amaze me," he said, having become the American League's first nine-game winner when the Angels turned away the Mariners, 5-4, Tuesday night in front of 23,534 at Safeco Field. "It's special to achieve something like that. There are so many great pitchers, being the first to nine wins really is a great feeling. 三个月前还不确定自己有没有先发头路的桑德斯上校，现在是美联第一个九胜投手。 "It doesn't really surprise me -- I've always felt I could pitch and have some success. But I'm kind of in a place I've never been before, and it's a great honor ... and a pretty special moment." 「爽。」 The Angels' fourth straight win and 11th in the past 15 games pushed their MLB-best road record to 18-11 and enabled them to maintain their grip on a highly competitive American League West race. 猴子军是大联盟最坏的客人。 It ended with a flourish, Francisco Rodriguez striking out the side to notch his 23rd save in 24 chances after Jose Arredondo had blazed through a perfect eighth. 本日剧场公休。 It had begun with a rare offensive uprising against one of the game's most feared left-handers. With Maicer Izturis driving in three runs with a pair of hits, Robb Quinlan rapping out three runs and scoring twice and cleanup man Torii Hunter delivering a pair of hits, including a two-out RBI double to get it started, the Angels exceeded the four-run barrier for the first time in 14 games. 小翅膀快炮不可思议地打挂大联盟里最可怕的左投之一。 They staked Saunders to a 5-0 lead and chased Erik Bedard, the man imported from Baltimore to take the Mariners places, in the fourth inning. Bedard, who cost the Mariners five young players, is 4-4 with a 4.47 ERA. The Cy Young Award candidate on the Safeco mound Tuesday night was the other lefty. Saunders shaved his ERA to 2.63, tied for third in the AL, while moving to 9-2. 上校，不下北大。 Winning is nothing new to Saunders -- he was 15-8 in 33 starts as a part-timer for three seasons -- but nobody could have anticipated anything like this. The Angels are 17-4 behind Saunders and Ervin Santana, the man Saunders was supposed to duel for the fifth-starter's role this spring before injuries felled John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar. 五号投手出头天。 "Right now," Hunter said, "he's one of the best lefties in the game. I think he definitely went out and pitched better than Bedard." 猴王的场面话。 Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey was also better than Bedard, keeping the Mariners in the game with 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief with six strikeouts. Saunders sailed into the fourth having allowed one hit, when Jose Lopez's leadoff homer made it 5-1. There were two outs when the Mariners stirred in the fifth on Yuniesky Betancourt's second double and an infield hit by Ichiro Suzuki. Lopez's grounder to Howie Kendrick's left jumped up and got through the second baseman for an error, with Betancourt scoring. After Jose Vidro lined an RBI single to right-center, another error -- on a throw from third by Quinlan -- delivered the third unearned run of the inning. It was the first two-error inning of the season by the Angels and only the fifth time they'd committed as many as two errors in a game. 守备率是棒球里最无用的数据之一。 Here came Adrian Beltre with two on and a chance to bust it open. Saunders broke off a two-strike curveball, and Beltre went down swinging. "That was a big punchout," Saunders said, having finished a 31-pitch inning. "It felt like I threw 50 that inning. It was a battle. My focus was, `Don't get flustered; don't lose my focus or emotions.' "As a pitcher, you make enough mistakes. When the infielders make mistakes, I say, `I'll pick you up here.' That's been my mind-set ever since high school and Little League." 「幸亏老衲从幼时起就潜心於禅定的功夫，这点小场面不算什麽。」 The Angels struck quickly against Bedard, courtesy of an error by Beltre at third that put leadoff man Reggie Willits aboard. He scored on Hunter's ringing, two-out double to left-center. Another two-out hit, Izturis' single through the middle, made it 3-0 in the second, delivering Casey Kotchman, who'd walked, and Quinlan, who'd singled. 意外现场。 "Those two-out hits feel good, especially against a guy like Bedard," Hunter said. "We've been getting the job done with pitching and defense keeping us in the game, and we're coming through when it matters." 猴王，场面话二连击。 A two-run fourth gave Saunders a five-run cushion. Quinlan's leadoff double triggered the rally, with Izturis and Kendrick each delivering RBI singles that chased Bedard. He departed after 3 1/3 innings having yielded five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks. 意外现场 part 2。 Jeff Mathis called all the right pitches for Saunders, Arredondo and K-Rod and walked three times coming off his two-run homer in the series opener. 猴子幕後的无名英雄，小马。 "We're so good as a hitting team," Saunders said, "we're bound to score. I think it's going to get better." 上校骂人不带脏字。 The guy who came to camp hoping to win a job was beaming. He's come a long way in three months 不过还是给上校一点掌声吧。 </内文> <!-- 今年 FB 蠢事之二：完全不鸟上校和阿凸，以至於一胜难求 --> --
