(From New York Times) DETROIT, Aug. 25 — Before he shut off his cellphone Saturday morning, Joe Torre took one last call as he wearily returned to the Yankees’ suburban hotel around 4:30 a.m. It was Brian Cashman, the general manager, asking Torre if he wanted a fresh pitcher for Saturday. 在Torre关掉他的手机之前，他在他回饭店的路上打了最後一通电话给总经理Cashman. Cashman问他星期六的比赛需不需要一个菜鸟来投球。 Torre, the manager, told him that would not be necessary. He already had one well-rested pitcher, presumably fast asleep in the hotel. It turned out that was about all he would need. 总教练Torre说这不必要。因为他已经有个得到完整休息，现在可能已经在饭店睡觉的 年青强投。或许让他多睡一点就是这个投手的唯一要求。 The Yankees recovered from an exhausting defeat to push aside the Detroit Tigers, 7-2, on Saturday night behind eight strong innings from Chien-Ming Wang As his teammates slogged through a loss that ended at 3:30 a.m. after a 241-minute rain delay, Wang was resting back at the hotel. He left Comerica Park, at Torre’s urging, around midnight. 洋基从昨天失败中的劳累中取得今天的胜利。王建民的八局强有力的先发是胜利的功臣。 当小王的队友在因雨延赛了241分钟并且成天凌晨三点半才结束的比赛中白忙一场而败战 他并没有在场边和他的队友并肩作战。他因为Torre的坚持下离开球场，回饭店休息。 Wang allowed five hits, two walks and an earned run in eight innings, striking out six to improve his record to 15-6. Brian Bruney worked the ninth to close out the victory, which kept the Yankees’ deficit at six and a half games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East. The Yankees trailed Seattle by two and a half for the wild-card lead, pending the result of the Mariners’ game in Texas. 小王在八局的投球中被击出五支安打，投出两次保送并有一分责失，六次三振。将自己的 胜场数推进到15场。Bruney在九局上关门成功，并将洋基与Redsox的场差维持在六场半。 洋基在外卡争夺战中落後水手二场半。 The Tigers’ starter, Jeremy Bonderman, closed out the Yankees in the division series last October. This season, they seem to have figured him out. Bonderman lost to the Yankees for the second time in a week. He started the season 10-1 and is now 10-7. 上个球季季後赛中把洋基淘汰的投手Bonderman，这个球季似乎拿洋基没辄。他在一个星期 内连输洋基两次，现在的战绩是十胜七败． Last Sunday, Bonderman walked five in six innings in a 9-3 loss at Yankee Stadium. On Saturday, he walked four with no strikeouts in five and two-thirds innings, allowing seven runs.. （在说Bonderman，懒得翻） Hideki Matsui doubled in the first two runs in the first inning after Bobby Abreu singled and Alex Rodriguez walked with two out. Johnny Damon — a .438 career hitter against Bonderman — lifted his eighth home run to right-center field to open the third 松井在一局上的二安打回因为一安上垒的阿布和获得保送的A-Rod。对Bonderman打击率高 达4成38的Damon在三局上击出了第八号全垒打。 The Yankees led by 3-2 through five innings, but they knocked out Bonderman with a four-run flurry in the sixth. With the bases loaded and one out, Melky Cabrera tripled to the right-field corner to clear the bases. Damon followed with a triple to center that made the score 7-2. （说明第五局大局的型成，没说小王不翻） Rain delayed the start of Friday’s game for 4 hours 1 minute, and the teams then played a 4:24 marathon. The Elias Sports Bureau said it had no data on what time games ended, but few players could remember playing at a later hour. (说明昨天的延赛…没小王不翻) The players stalked around their clubhouses before the first pitch at 11:06 p.m., working out, playing cards and staving off boredom to stay awake. “I had like two cups of coffee,” Tigers first baseman Sean Casey said. “I don’t even drink coffee.” (说明老虎的球员在等待延赛的时候在冲三小朋友来打发时间，Sean Casey说他要喝 咖啡提神) The decision to play was made by the umpires because this was the Yankees’ only trip here this season. During the delay, the umpires told Torre that every effort would be made to play after a directive from Major League Baseball, which reportedly was upset that Thursday’s game between the Chicago White Sox and the Red Sox was called too soon. (说明因为这是洋基这一季最後一次到老虎主场比赛，所以主审坚持要打) “Evidently, the umpires got a call saying, ‘You’re going to play at any cost,’ ” Torre said. “That’s the edict, and that’s what we did.” (Torre对於这个决定的看法，没小王不翻) On Saturday, only one Yankee showed up before the first bus arrived around 4:30 p.m. — reliever Kyle Farnsworth, who got here at 2 for his usual early workout. Torre held a brief meeting with the players, who were spared formal batting practice.offee.” (洋基的球员在四点半依旧到球场练球，但是放肆火两点就到球场作重训了…是要练拳头吗) Wang was well-rested, and he needed to be. He was coming off a shaky three-start stretch in which he allowed 16 earned runs and 26 hits in 14 2/3 innings. He won his last start but struggled to hold runners on. 小王有了他需要的充份休息。因为他正从三次比较差的先发低潮中走出来。他在这三次的 先发中投了14又2/3局但有16分的责失和26支安打。他上次先发虽然胜了但是对於跑者的 掌握还是很抖。 That troubled him again Saturday, but not enough to lose the game. Pla'cido Polanco walked, stole second and scored on a single in the first inning. In the fifth, Brandon Inge singled, stole second and came around on a passed ball and a wild pitch. 虽然今天对跑者的掌握还是不好，但是不足以输掉这场比赛。Polanco被保送後盗上两垒 并跑回一分。第五局Inge安打後盗两垒并因为小王的暴投跑回第二分。 That run was unearned, snapping Wang’s streak of 47 starts without allowing an unearned run. According to Elias, it was the longest streak by a Yankee since the A.L. started counting unearned runs in 1913. Inge那一分是非自责分，并且把小王连47场无非自责分的纪录中断。这是自1913年开始计 算非自责失分以来最长的局数。 -- 以上，请鞭 --
