〔ＭＬＢ〕 Berkman lifts Astros to series win Berkman 带领太空人拿下系列战胜利 Jennings throws seven-plus solid innings; Qualls gets win Jennings 投出七局好球；Qualls 拿下胜投 By Alyson Footer / MLB.com CHICAGO -- With Brad Lidge and Dan Wheeler both overworked and unavailable for Saturday's game, Chad Qualls knew when he walked to the mound in the eighth he was probably on the hook for the ninth, too. 周六，当 Brad Lidge 与 Dan Wheeler 两位都已经过於疲劳而无法出赛时， Chad Qualls 在第八局上场时就知道他可能要把第九局也包办。 And that was fine with him. Qualls had been listening to the hecklers in the bullpen for two straight days, hearing the taunts from fans who haven't forgotten the two grand slams he's given up at U.S. Cellular Field -- one during the World Series in 2005, and one last year when the teams met for an Interleague matchup. 而他也真的把第九局给包了。Qualls 已经在牛棚里听白袜队球迷的叫嚣 整整两天，他们还没忘记 Qualls 在此被轰出的两支满贯全垒打，０５年 世界大赛一发，去年球季跨联盟对战时一发。 So to be able to preserve the Astros' 3-2 win on enemy territory was especially gratifying for Qualls, who needed just three pitches to strand the tying run on second base in the eighth. He then admirably worked his way out of a possible jam in the ninth to earn his fifth win of the year. 所以，能够在太空人以３－２领先时上场负责保住胜利对於 Qualls 来说特别有成就感。第八局上场时，他只差三个好球就能把追平分给 锁在二垒，接着，他在第九局走出小乱流拿下本季第五胜。 "It definitely feels good to come here and throw the ball well," Qualls said. "I'm obviously really loved here by the fans. You get a bunch of grief out there at the bullpen, so it's nice to come out here and throw up zeroes on them and get the team a win and show everybody that I'm better than that." Qualls 说：「能来到这里，而且能有所表现绝对是令人开心的事情。 很明显的，这里的球迷爱死我了。在这里的牛棚有些伤心的回忆。所以 ，能够再次上场，送给他们一个大大的零分，让球队赢球，证明自己的 能耐，真的很棒。」 This win was filed under the category of "ugly" in manager Phil Garner's book. Obviously, with six wins in the last three weeks, he's in no position to nitpick. But still, the Astros had chance after chance to break the game open, but each time, squeaked by with just the minimum -- one run. 这场胜利在总教练 Phil Garner 的笔记本中被归类在「赢得很丑」那栏。 当然，带着过去三周只有六胜的球队，他没什麽好挑剔。但是，太空人有好 几个机会大量取分，最终却只意思意思的拿下一分。 "Right now, it's still a little upsetting that we didn't do a better job in the game," Garner said. "But still, I'll take the win. I'm pleased with that. We did the job. Bottom line is we won it. I thought we should have won it by several runs today. It didn't turn out that way, but we won and that's what we've got to do." Garner 说：「现在，对於我们不能有更好的表现这档事我还是有点不太 高兴。当然，我们赢了。我很高兴球队赢球。重点是我们赢了。只是，我 想我们可以赢得更多。虽然没办法攻下很多分，但是我们还是赢球，而那 至少是我们该做到的。」 The eighth inning was the biggest disappointment. Facing reliever Bret Prinz, the Astros had the bases loaded and nobody out, after Mark Loretta led off with a four-pitch walk and advanced to third on Lance Berkman's double to the corner in right. 第八局是最令人失望的一刻。面对中继投手 Bret Prinz 的太空人打线 占满垒包无人出局，这局面是由 Mark Loretta 的保送开始，接着是 Lance Berkman 的二垒安打把垒上跑者往前推送。 Carlos Lee was walked intentionally, prompting Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen to call for lefty Boone Logan to face Luke Scott. Scott grounded to second, leaving Tadahito Iguchi plenty of time to make a throw to home for the forceout. Carlos Lee 刻意被保送，白袜队换上左投手 Boone Logan 来面对 Luke Scott。 Scott 击出二垒方向滚地球，让 Tadahito Iguchi 有充分的时 间回传本垒解决掉跑者。 Mike Lamb launched a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Berkman, but after Chris Burke drew a walk off Ryan Bukvich, Eric Munson struck out to end the threat. Mike Lamb 以左外野方向的牺牲高飞球送回 Berkman 。但是在 Chris Burke 选到一次保送後（面对 Ryzn Bukvuch）， Eric Munson 被三振，危机解除。 "Anytime you get bases loaded, nobody out, if you can get two runs out of that, you're doing a pretty good job," Berkman said. "It hurts to only get one run, but at least we got one. We've had situations before where we haven't gotten anything out of that." Berkman 说：「当你在无人出局攻占满垒时，如果你攻下两分，就算不错了。 但是，我们只拿下一分，而那真的很逊。但是，至少我们拿下了一分。过去， 我们还曾经连一分都拿不到。」 Still, Garner admitted he was worried, especially when the White Sox tied it on Jim Thome's double in the bottom of the frame. But that anxiety was short-lived, thanks to a mini-rally the Astros staged against Sox closer Bobby Jenks. 然而， Garner 承认他是有些担心，特别当白袜队在八局下靠着 Jim Thome 的二垒安打追平时。但是，这样的担忧没有持续下去，要感谢的是太空人面 对白袜终结者 Bobby Jenks 时上演的终场好戏。 Adam Everett led off with an infield hit, and after an errant bunt attempt by Orlando Palmeiro, moved to third on Loretta's single to right. Berkman lined a base hit to left, pushing ahead the eventual game-winner. Adam Everett 以一支内野安打率先上垒，又靠着 Orlando Palmeiro 的 牺牲触击与 Loretta 的右边方向安打上到三垒。Berkman 击出三垒边线 的安打，把胜利打点拿下。 "I was looking for the ball, because it was impossible to see with the shadows," said Berkman, who was 3-for-5 with a double. "You're trying to get something up, see if you can elevate it a little bit and try to drive that run in. I was just pleased to make contact in that situation." ５个打席有３支安打的Berkman 说：「我那时候一直在找球，因为影子让你 看不见。你想要有些作为，你想要把握机会把那分送回来。对於那种情况下 可以击中球我真的很高兴。」 The White Sox late-game surge prevented Jason Jennings from earning a much-deserved win. In his third start since returning from the disabled list, Jennings held the White Sox scoreless through seven, allowing six hits and a walk while striking out six during a 97-pitch performance. 白袜队末段的反攻让 Jason Jennings 的胜投自手中溜走。从伤兵名单中 回来後第三度先发的他让白袜队七局没有得分，被击出６支安打１次保送 ，送出６次三振，以９７个用球数达成今天的任务。 "Today was probably the best I've felt all year, which is a good sign," Jennings said. "I was able to use all my pitches. I don't know what my velocity was, but I felt like I was throwing the ball well. I had a little something on it. Hopefully, every start gets better and better until I'm back to 100 percent. I think I'm close." Jennings 说：「今天也许是我整年来感觉最棒的一次，这是个好兆头。我能够 用上所有的招式。我不知道球速如何，但是我觉得我投得不错。我的确有发挥。 希望，接下来的比赛我会更好，慢慢回到巅峰。我想快了。」 "He just pounded the strikezone," Munson said. "He was trying to pitch to contact today. He did. Coming back off the DL, I'm sure they have a pitch count on him. He went darn near eight innings, which means you're pounding the strikezone. He was aggressive, too." Munson 说：「他真的对准好球带狂飙。他今天就是冲着好球带在投。一个 从伤兵名单回来的投手一定被设定投球数。他投到近八局，表示他真的只管 把球投进好球带。他也很有侵略性。」 Alyson Footer is a reporter for MLB.com.

Chad Qualls 对於 U.S Cellular 球场可是有深刻的回忆。 In the same park, the Astros' reliever had given up first-pitch grand slams to Paul Konerko in the 2005 World Series and to Joe Crede a year ago when Houston faced the Chicago White Sox in interleague play. 就在这个球场中，这位太空人队的投手在０５年世界大赛面对 Paul Konerko 时， 在第一球投出就被轰出满贯全垒打。去年跨联盟对战时，他也被 Joe Crede 击出 满贯全垒打。 On Saturday, Qualls got some payback. He got the final four outs, striking out Rob Mackowiak for the final one with the tying run on third as the Astros beat the reeling White Sox 3-2. 这个周六， Qualls 算得上是讨回一点公道。他拿下比赛最後四个出局数， 并三振掉最後一位打者 Rob Mackowiak ，让追平分站在三垒徒劳无功。太 空人最後以３－２胜过白袜队。 "Obviously, I'm really loved here by the fans. You get a bunch of grief out there in the bullpen. It's nice to throw the zeros up on them and get the team a win, and kind of show everybody that I'm better than that," Qualls said. Qualls 说：「很明显的，这里的球迷爱死我了。在这里的牛棚有些伤心的 回忆。所以，能够再次上场，送给他们一个大大的零分，让球队赢球，证明 自己的能耐，真的很棒。」 Fans in Chicago will never forget his home run pitch to Konerko in the World Series that eventually ended in a White Sox sweep. Neither will he. 芝加哥的球迷绝对不会忘记 Qualls 面对 Konerko 被轰出满贯全垒打的 那一刻，白袜队最终横扫太空人队在世界大赛胜出。Qualls 当然也不会忘记。 "They'll remember that until probably the day I retire," Qualls said. "It's just part of going on the road, heckling and everything else. I love it. They definitely won't let me forget." Qualls 说：「等到我离开大联盟他们可能还记得那球吧。客场比赛就是 这样，总是会有对方球迷对你吼来吼去的。我喜欢这样。他们不会让我忘记的。」 Lance Berkman hit an RBI single in the top of the ninth Saturday as Houston recovered after blowing a late 2-0 lead by collecting three hits off Chicago closer Bobby Jenks. 当太空人队毁掉２－０的领先後，Lance Berkman 在第九局击出一分打点的 安打，那局里面，太空人以三支安打从终结者 Bobby Jenks 手中拿下分数。 "In a situation where we were battling back, it makes it so much more painful," Jenks said. "I would rather have them go out and bang a couple off the wall instead of an inning like that." Jenks 说：「当球队准备逆转、自後追赶时，（失分）让人更是难受。我 宁可被轰出几支全垒打，也不要投出那样的一局。」 The White Sox have lost 12 of 14. The Astros, also struggling this season, have their first two-game winning streak since taking four straight from May 12-16. 白袜队已经输掉过去１４场比赛中的１２场。本季也是不好过的太空人，从 五月１２－１６四连胜以来首度拿下二连胜。 Adam Everett singled off third baseman Josh Fields' glove leading off the ninth against Jenks (2-2) and moved to third on a one-out single by Mark Loretta. 第九局，Adam Everett 面对 Jenks （２胜２负）率先把球击向三垒手 Josh Fields 形成安打，接着在１出局後靠着 Mark Loretta 的安打上到三垒。 Berkman, who is playing while appealing a two-game suspension handed out Friday for his actions following an ejection last Tuesday in Colorado, then dumped an opposite-field single to left for a 3-2 lead. 还在替自己两场禁赛上诉的 Berkman 接着把球打向左外野，给球队３－２的 领先。他在上周五面对洛矶山队时被判出场，而他的反应引来禁赛的後果。 "I was looking for the ball, because it was almost impossible to see with those shadows. Obviously you're trying to get something up that you can elevate it a little bit and try to drive that run in," Berkman said. "He jammed me pretty good, but, like I said, I was just pleased to make contact in that situation." Berkman 说：「我那时候一直在找球，因为影子让你看不见。你想要有些作为 ，你想要把握机会把那分送回来。他的确让我无法很顺利的挥击，对於那种情 况下可以击中球我真的很高兴。」 In the bottom of the ninth, Qualls walked Juan Uribe, who moved to second on a sacrifice and to third on a grounder before Mackowiak struck out. 在第九局下， Qualls 保送了 Juan Urive ，他接着靠牺牲打与滚地球上到三垒， 最後，只能看着 Mackowiak 被三振。 After another frustrating loss in a season that is quickly slipping away, the White Sox had a players-only meeting to hash some things out. 在本季又一次的挫败後，白袜队招集了球员举行会议，好好谈谈。 "I feel if you're having chats, something's not right," Chicago starter Jon Garland said. "Some things were said that needed to be said." 白袜队 Jon Garland 说：「我想，当队上有些。。声音。情况就不算妙。 有些该被说的事情有被提出。」 White Sox DH Jim Thome hit a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at 2-2. 白袜队指定打击 Jim Thome 在第八局下半以两分二垒安打把比赛追平在２－２。 Houston starter Jason Jennings, bidding for his first win with the Astros, took a 2-0 lead into the eighth inning against the White Sox, who entered the game with a .232 team batting average. 还在寻求首胜的太空人先发投手 Jason Jennings 带着２－０的领先进入第八局。 而他面对的是赛前全队打击率平均　.２３２的白袜队。 Fields singled to lead off, chasing Jennings. Reliever Trever Miller hit Rob Mackowiak with a pitch and after Tadahito Iguchi sacrificed, Thome delivered the two-run double to right center. Fields 率先击出安打，让 Jennings 退场。中继投手 Trever Miller 对 Rob Mackowiak 投出触身球。而在 Tadahito Iguchi 的牺牲打後， Thome 把球打向右外野送回两分。 Paul Konerko was walked intentionally and after A.J. Pierzynski struck out, Qualls (5-3) relieved and got Jermaine Dye to foul out. Paul Konerko 被刻意保送，在 A.J. Pierzynski 被三振後， Qualls 接手 解决掉 Jermaine Dye 。 Jennings allowed six hits and a run in seven-plus innings in his third start since coming off the disabled list with elbow problems. 从伤兵名单归队的 Jennings 第三度先发，被击出六支安打，失掉一分，主投近八局。 Garland gave up a run and eight hits in seven innings, including Eric Munson's first homer leading off the second. Garland 主投七局被击出八支安打失１分，那１分是 Eric Munson 在第二局 击出的全垒打。 Houston added on against reliever Bret Prinz in the eighth, as the boos began to fill U.S. Cellular Field. Prinz walked Loretta before Berkman doubled and Carlos Lee was walked intentionally to load the bases. 太空人在第八局面对 Bret Prinz 时继续攻势，那时全场球迷开始大嘘特嘘。 Prinz 先保送了 Loretta ，接着被 Berkman 击出二垒安打，而之後又保送了 Carlos Lee 把垒包给挤满。 After Boone Logan relieved and got a force at the plate, Mike Lamb hit a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0. Ryan Bukvich struck out Chris Burke with the bases loaded to end the inning. Boone Logan 接手救援後，先在本垒抢下一个出局数， Mike Lamb 又以高飞牺牲球 送回１分，比赛形成２－０。Ryan Bukvich 在满垒的情形下三振掉 Burke ，结束 那一局。 --
