简单翻一下，後面就乱翻了...好累 Yankees 2, Athletics 0 Wang Helps Ease the Yankees' Pain Wang 帮忙 Yanks 疗伤止痛 By JOE LAPOINTE Published: May 13, 2006 The mood seemed somewhat subdued last night at the Stadium, even as the Yankees defeated the Oakland Athletics, 2-0, on the of pitching Chien-Ming Wang and solo home runs by Alex Rodriguez and Bernie Williams. 即使今天击败了A's，弥漫在这个球场的气氛依旧有些消沈。 The feeling was partly because of a key injury to the home team, which played without its left fielder, Hideki Matsui, for the first time in more than three seasons. Perhaps the dank weather also had something to do with the reduced excitement level. 或许是因为昨天Matsui的受伤，三年来第一次没有他当我们的左外野手， 又或许是这烂天气造成的... Another reason might have been that opposition for the weekend, the A's, who are not quite as compelling a matchup as the Boston Red Sox, who played here the three previous nights with first place at stake in the American League East. 另外一个原因或许是对上A's的比赛总是没有比对上Red Sox令人血脉喷张 Still, there is always a chance for there to be a crisp and delightful game. Excellent pitching can bring everything into focus and make fielders look sharp and every pitch important. That was the case last night as Wang (3-1), a rising star, outdueled Oakland's more established Barry Zito (2-3). 不过，这依就是场乾净俐落而且令人愉快的比赛。杰出的投球吸引了所有的目光。 "The matchup — Wang versus Zito — it didn't seem to favor us," Yankees Manager Joe Torre said. "But we know what this kid can do." Torre说：Zito对上Wang，看起来似乎不利於我们，不过我们知道这小子做得到的。 Rodriguez broke a scoreless tie by leading off the bottom of the sixth inning with a homer to left-center on a low changeup from Zito. It was his eighth home run of the season and the second time in three games he has hit a game-winning homer. A-Rod在六下瞄准了Zito的低角度变速球，扛出一支阳春炮打破僵局。本季第八支， 也是这三场里第二次打出胜利打点全垒打。 "My hands are coming alive," Rodriguez said. "It was refreshing to get a good, tight game. You got the feeling one run would do the difference." 我感觉到我的手活过来了！！在一精彩紧张的比赛里，你会感觉到一分就可以定江山！ And it would have been enough, but Williams made the score 2-0 with a homer to left field with two outs in the eighth against the former Yankee Randy Keisler. 光靠A-Rod的这一分就足够了，不过Bernie在八局又打了一支全垒打，将比数变成2:0 It was Williams's second home run of the season and earned him a curtain call. 他也赢得了球迷的欢呼，并获得了curtain call "Bernie's special," Torre said. "Just the way he carries himself. He's a leader and he doesn't even know it." Wang worked eight innings and gave up just three hits and two walks. Mariano Rivera worked the ninth for his seventh save. The game lasted 2 hours and 28 minutes, considerably less than the 3:59 it took for the Red Sox to defeat the Yankees, 5-3, on Thursday. Wang投了八局，只被打出三支安打和送出两次保送。Mo投了第九局并拿到第七次save。 比赛持续了两小时又二十八分钟，比昨天那场打了快四小时的比赛快了许多。 "My infielders were really good," Wang said. "They caught a lot of hoppers. I used a lot of four-seamers." Wang说：我的内野手们都很棒，他们拦住了许多滚地球。我也投了很多四缝线直球。 The Yankees were without Matsui, who underwent a successful operation on his left wrist yesterday after fracturing it Thursday night. He is expected to miss at least three months. Melky Cabrera started in left field last night in place of Matsui, and the Yankees called up outfielder Kevin Reese from Class AAA Columbus to fill Matsui's roster spot. Matsui昨天已经接受了成功的手术，并且预计会休息至少三个月。 Cabrera代替Matsui的位置守左外也，而在3A的Reese也被叫上来了。 Attendance was announced as 47,497, but there were a number large gaps of empty seats, particularly in the upper and lower decks in the outfield. Earlier in the week, energized crowds of more than 50,000 watched the Yankees and Red Sox. 官方宣称观众有47797人，不过在上排的位置和外野的位置还蛮空的。 在稍早的比赛，超过五万名的热情球迷观赏了Yanks vs Red Sox的rivarly。 Rodriguez said the players talked before the game about avoiding a letdown after Boston took two of three from the Yankees. "It was nice to bounce back," Rodriguez said. A-Rod说：我们球员门有先聊过何赶走消沈的心情，在输了对Red Sox的系列後… 反击回去的感觉真好！ The air was chilly and damp last night and both starters worked at a brisk pace. Zito, an artistic left-hander, mixed fastballs, changeups and sliders with his trademark, the curve. Wang, a right-hander who throws sinkers, got the A's to hit the ball onto the ground constantly, four times for double plays. Zito had control problems in the fifth and loaded the bases on a single and two walks before retiring Jason Giambi on a fly ball to deep center. In six innings, Zito gave up five hits and four walks. Wang，丢着许多颗的sinkers让A's把球一次又一次的打到地上，造成了四次的双杀守备。 Zito在第五局控球出了点问题，并且造成了满垒。不过随即让大吉打了之中外野深远飞 球结束这局。 "That's the best he's thrown all year," Rodriguez said of Wang. A-Rod如是说：那是Wang今年目前为止投最好的比赛 Torre pointed out that the fast pace brought out the best in the fielders, especially in the top of the eighth when second baseman Robinson Canó made a backhanded stab off Adam Melhuse's grounder up the middle. Canó stopped, leaped into the air and threw to first base, where Andy Phillips scooped the ball an instant ahead of the runner to get the out. Torre指出；明快的节奏让野手们都表现得很好，尤其是Cano那一球 Rivera, smiling, said: "You need to pitch and play good defense. You will go far." Mo饶富意味的笑着说：把球投出，配上好的防守，前途似锦啊！ Inside Pitch The Yankees got a stolen base from Jason Giambi last night, his first of the season. Without the hard-hitting Hideki Matsui and the injured Gary Sheffield in the lineup, the Yankees are looking to play more small ball than usual. Joe Torre said Giambi has permission to go whenever he is not being held on first. 大吉跑出了本季第一次盗垒。 在没有了Matsui和Sheffield後，Yanks似乎要多玩点小球才行。 Torre说：大吉可以什麽时候想盗垒都可以，当他不想只被困在一垒时。 -- My album：http://med.tmu.edu.tw/~garcia/gallery/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/garcia/ --
