Lamb leads Astros past Mariners Lamb 领军，太空人胜过水手。 Third baseman goes 4-for-4 with three RBIs, including homer 当家三垒手四打席四安打，包含一发全垒打，拿下三分打点。 By Ben DuBose / MLB.com HOUSTON -- Two days ago, Mike Lamb was one of the most notable slumping Astros, going 8-for-62 since May 15 and becoming a scapegoat for the team's recent offensive woes. 两天前， Mike Lamb 是太空人低潮营中最低潮的选手，从 五月十五号以来，六十二个打席只有八支安打，是全队最 有资格当代罪羔羊，负起进攻失常责任的球员。 But suddenly, he seems to have rediscovered his stroke. And for the second consecutive game, it provided a spark to the underachieving Houston offense. 但是，转眼间，他似乎找回他的ＦＵ了。而且，连续两场率 队打出不寻常的火力。 Lamb followed Thursday's three-hit performance by tying a career high with four hits Friday night, driving in three runs and leading the Astros to a 5-1 victory over the Mariners in the series opener at Minute Maid Park. Houston collected 16 hits in the game, including 12 in six innings off talented youngster Felix Hernandez (3-4), who took the loss. 接在周四三支安打的表现之後， Lamb 以平生涯最佳纪录的 单场四支安打，打进三分打点，让太空人以５－１在自家 Minute Maid Park 里拿下对水手队系列战的头彩。太空人在 比赛中击出１６支安打，包含第六局中的１２支，让水手 队的年轻新秀 Felix Hernandez （三胜四负）黯然吃下败仗。 "It was much needed, from a team standpoint, as well as myself," Lamb said. "I know I've been bad for about a month, and that's about a month too long. I needed that. And for the team to respond facing a good Seattle Mariners club with one of the best young pitchers in the game, it was much needed." Lamb 说：「从球队的观点来看，这真的是及时雨，当然， 对我自己来说也是。我知道，我已经烂了一个月，而一个 月真的是太久了。我需要这样的爆发。对於碰上一支好球队 的好投手，还能有这种表现，这种表现来得真是时候。」 With Mark Loretta starting at shortstop after losing Adam Everett to a fractured right leg, Lamb moved across the diamond and started at third base. 这场比赛，由於 Mark Loretta 代替右腿骨折的 Adam Everett 担任游击手， Lamb 被调往三垒先发。 Lamb broke a scoreless tie in the second by hitting a double to left-center off Hernandez, scoring Loretta. Then, with the Astros clinging to a 2-1 lead in the sixth, Lamb drilled a pitch from Hernandez to deep right, soaring over the bullpen for a 401-foot, two-run homer and giving the Astros insurance runs. Lamb 在第二局打破双方挂零的僵局，面对 Hernandez 以左外野方向的二垒安打送回 Loretta 。接着，在第六局太 空人以２－１超前时。 Lamb 又抓住 Hernandenz 一球猫向 右外野深远的角落，飞越牛棚成为一支４０１尺的两分全垒打 ，让太空人的领先更加稳固。 "[Lamb] did it tonight, and that was key," Astros manager Phil Garner said. "We hadn't had anyone step up with a big night in a while, but he put a bunch of runs on the board for us. Those three runs were big." 太空人教头 Phil Garner 说：「Lamb 今晚办到了，而那是 关键。我们已经好一阵子没有人在比赛中大爆发，但是， 他帮我们攻下好几分。那三分真的是意义重大」 As impressive as Lamb was at the plate, starter Wandy Rodriguez was equally impressive on the mound. Rodriguez tied a career high by lasting 7 2/3 innings, yielding just one run on six hits and staying in command of Seattle hitters throughout. 与 Lamb 表现相呼应的是太空人先发投手 Wandy Rodriguez 。 他以平生涯最长投球局数的七又三分之二局，缴出六安打失 一分的成绩，从头到尾都把水手队的打者压制住。 "That was the best I've pitched," Rodriguez said through an interpreter after the game. "I had good concentration, good location and everything came out good." Rodriguez 说：「今晚是我投得最棒的一场。我很专心， 有投进好的位置，一切都很顺」 "It was a great performance by Wandy," closer Brad Lidge said. "He was moving the ball in and out very well. His fastball looked really good. He was able to get inside to righties very well, and, I think, that was the key to his success." 终结者 Brad Lidge 说：「Wandy 真的是投出一场好球。 不论内侧外侧都很有把握。他的速球也很棒。对於攻击 右打者内侧的把握很高，我想，那是他今晚胜投的关键 。」 His only blemish came in the sixth when Seattle's Willie Bloomquist hit a ball just past the glove of Hunter Pence, caroming off the left-center field wall, rolling to the top of Tal's Hill and giving Bloomquist enough time to circle the bases for an inside-the-park home run. 他今晚唯一的危机发生在第六局，当时水手队 Willie Bloomquist 将球击向 Hunter Pence 并且穿出防守圈，直到击中外野护墙 球才停下，自 Tal 小山丘上滚下来。这给了 Bloomquist 足够的 时间跑出一支场内全垒打。 But Rodriguez remained sharp and focused, staying in the game until he was removed with two outs in the eighth inning for Dan Wheeler, who struck out Jose Lopez to end the inning. Rodriguez left to a standing ovation from a crowd of 37,322. 不过， Rodriguez 依然很威、而且专注在比赛中，直到 八局两人出局後才由 Dan Wheeler 接替。Wheeler 三振掉 Jose Lopez 结束该局。Rodriguez 起身接受全场三万七千 多名球迷的欢呼。 "It felt really good that the fans appreciated what I did today," Rodriguez said. Rodriguez：「球迷这麽挺我，真的很感心。」 "I thought he was in complete control of the game," Garner said. "He had a great tempo and threw strikes against a team that's a really good hitting team. He just went right after them." Garner 说：「我想，他真的主导了整场比赛。他的节奏 掌握的很好，面对一支善打的球队还送出三振。他真的是 掌握了对手。」 Although the Astros' four-run lead in the ninth was one run too large for an official save, Lidge worked a scoreless inning to close out the victory. 虽然太空人在第九局四分的领先超过规定的一分，不能算是 一个拿救援点的情况，Lidge 还是顺利封锁对手，结束比赛。 "I felt good," Lidge said. "It was nice to get out there with a lead like that. I wanted to stay aggressive and go right after them. I got behind a couple of guys a little bit, and I wasn't going to walk them, so I gave them some pitches to hit and our defense did a great job." Lidge 说：「我感觉不错。能够在那样领先幅度下上场很棒。 我想要保持积极，压制住对手。有几次我落後给打者，而我 不打算保送他们，所以，我投给他们打，而我们的防守也 没让对手得逞。」 Brad Ausmus continued his recent offensive surge, going 2-for-3 and driving in the Astros' second run of the game with a fourth-inning single, scoring Luke Scott. Brad Ausmus 依然维持近来的热度，三个打席两支安打， 送回太空人的第二分，当时是第四局，这支安打送回 Luke Scott。 Craig Biggio went 3-for-5 and added an RBI double in the eighth to cap the scoring, bringing his career hit total to 2,988. Craig Biggio 五个打席有三支安打、其中在第八局有一支 二垒安打赚进一分打点，他的生涯安打数累积到２９８８支。　 "I'll take them any way I can get them," Biggio said. "Today was a good day. [Hernandez] was pretty filthy -- he's got an unbelievable arm, and we collectively all did a good job chipping in. I don't think we crushed the ball all that well, but we had some good placement, and you'll take it any way you can get it against him." Biggio 说：「我会用尽一切方法来击出安打。今晚 Hernandez 真的是难缠。他的手臂真是不可思议，但是我们全队也 合力敲进分数。我不认为我们今晚打得特别好，但是我们 有几次真的瞄到球，不论如何，面对他真的是什麽管用就 该用。」 Although the Astros remain 11 games under .500, Garner believes Friday's performance gives reason for optimism. 虽然太空人目前距离五成胜率还有十一场比赛， Garner 教练相信周五的表现让大家有理由抱持乐观态度。 "This shows me we have it in us," Garner said. "That looks like more of what I thought we would be seeing [this year]. We were aggressive, came out swinging the bats and jumped on early pitches. That guy's a pretty good pitcher, but we were aggressive on pitches in the strike zone." Garner 说：「这表示，我们的确是有料的。这样的表现比 较符合我对今年的期待。我们很积极，一上场就开炮，没有 等太多球。今天我们面对的可是位好投手，但是我们很积极 锁定好球带内的球。」 Hernandez allowed four runs with those 12 hits in his six innings. Hernandez 在六局内被击出１２支安打，失掉四分。 Ben DuBose is an associate reporter for MLB.com. This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs. --
