Wang battles but comes up short vs. Braves http://tinyurl.com/3pww7pn ATLANTA -- Before Thursday's game, Nationals manager Davey Johnson didn't hesitate when asked what improvements he would like to see the team make during the final month of the season. He said he would like to see the team's offense show signs of life. Nothing changed by the time the game was over as the Nationals were defeated by the Braves, 5-2, at Turner Field. Atlanta took two out of three games in the series. 在星期四的比赛前，国民教头Davey Johnson被问到在赛季的最後一个月，他最想看到 什麽样的进展，他毫不迟疑地回答，他最想看到球队的打击能有一点活过来的迹象。 可惜当比赛结束，一点变化都没有，勇士以5:2击败国民，取得系列赛的胜利。 It was a game that saw right-hander Chien-Ming Wang make his seventh start of the season, and he had to be perfect to get the victory. He wasn't, and ended up with his third loss, going 5 2/3 innings while allowing four runs on seven hits. It was the long ball that did the major damage against Wang. 这是王建民本季第七次先发，想要获胜的话，他必须要有完美的演出，不过结局并非 如此。他主投5又2/3局，被击出7支安打掉4分，吞下第三败。勇士队的长打重创了王 建民。 Wang acknowledged that he was behind in the count too often, which hurt him, starting in the early innings. The Braves were able to get to Wang in the first inning, when Brian McCann hit a solo home run. An inning later, Chipper Jones led off against Wang and added his own solo shot. It was Jones' 451st career home run. 王建民知道自己太常处於球数落後的局面，这让他从一开始就吃了不少苦头。勇士队在 第一局就逮到机会，Brian McCann击出阳春全垒打。第二局首棒打者Chipper Jones也击 出阳春炮，个人生涯第451轰。 "The biggest problem was that I wasn't getting first-pitch strikes," Wang said. "My sinker was up and I was behind in the count. I wasn't getting ahead." Atlanta would make it a three-run game in the fourth inning after Dan Uggla touched home plate on single to right by Eric Hinske. 赛後访问时，王建民表示：「最大的问题是我没有抢到第一个好球，我的伸卡球有点高， 我的球数落後，我没有取得优势。」到了第四局，勇士队靠着Eric Hinske的安打，送回 Dan Uggla将比数扩大到3分领先。 The good news was that Wang didn't have any problems with his right shoulder, which kept him out of action for two years. "Everything is good," Wang said about his shoulder. 好消息是王建民的肩膀没有任何问题，王建民认为「(肩膀)一切都很好。」 Right-hander Tim Hudson started for Atlanta, and the Nationals had him on the ropes early. In each of the first three innings, Washington had runners in scoring position but couldn't get the run home. The Nationals' best opportunity came in the third inning. With runners on first and third with one out, Wilson Ramos came to the plate and hit into a double play to end the inning. 勇士先发右投Tim Hudson在前半段遭遇到不少危机，前三局国民队都进占得点圈，但是国 民队就是无法得分。国民队最好的机会在第三局，一人出局，一三垒有跑者的情况下， Wilson Ramos的双杀打终结了攻势。 The only damage the Nationals were able to do to Hudson occurred in the top of the sixth inning. Jayson Werth swung at an 0-2 pitch and hit the ball over the left-field wall for his 17th home run of the season, a solo shot. 国民队唯一有效的攻击只在六局上Jayson Werth的阳春炮，他本季的第17轰。 Hudson would last six innings and allow just the one run. "I gave up the homer there to Werth, but when you've got a nice lead out there you want to try and make them earn it," Hudson said. "It just means he guessed right and I put it on a tee for him. "Guys usually don't get great, great swings off of fastballs, 0-2, because you're in kind of a chase count. It was a pretty good pitch for him to hit and, obviously, it was a fastball and he guessed right. He got a pitch up in the zone and he didn't miss it." Hudson丢了6局，只掉一分。他表示：「虽然被Werth打出全垒打，不过在球数领先的情 况下，我只想试着解决掉他，这个结果只说明他猜对了。通常在球数落後的情况下，打 者很少能把快速球打好，2好球没坏球，因为通常都只想缠斗。总之，那球他打得很好， 那确实是快速球，而且他猜对了。一个高球进来，他咬中了。」 Werth's homer doesn't hide the fact that the Nationals have been in a hitting slump all season long. Entering Friday's action, the Nationals ranked 27th in offense and second in strikeouts among all big-league clubs. Werth的全垒打无法掩盖国民整季以来贫打的事实，到星期五为止，国民队在全大联盟的 火力排行第27，三振榜则高居第二。 Werth, who was used to electric offenses when he was with the Phillies, does not have an answer as to why the Nationals haven't been able to hit all year. Werth在费城人是带动攻势的角色，但对於国民为什麽打不好这个问题，他也无解。 "If we knew, we would do something about it. But it's the way of the world right now, unfortunately," Werth said. "It feel like it shouldn't be like that. It's frustrating, it really is. You guys see it, you are here every night. I'm sure you guys want us to get the hits as bad as we do. It makes it tough." Jayson Werth说到：「如果我们知道问题在哪，我们就可以做点什麽，但是很不幸地， 这世界现在就是这样。这感觉就像一切都不该是这样，但它真的就是这样，非常令人沮 丧。你们每天都看比赛，你们也看到了，我相信你们也像我们一样，希望我们可以打几 支安打出来。这让一切都变得很棘手。」 The Braves would add another run in the sixth off Wang to make it a 4-1 game. Uggla, who led off with a double, scored on a single by Alex Gonzalez. After Hudson left the game, the Nationals had a chance to at least tie the score in the eighth inning off reliever Jonny Venters. They had the bases loaded with one out, but couldn't take advantage of the situation. Michael Morse came to the plate and hit a soft grounder to Jones at third base. It looked like a perfect double play for Jones to make, but he bobbled the ball and all were safe as Jonny Gomes scored the second run of the game. 第六局，勇士队靠着Uggla开局的二垒安打，从王建民手中攻下第四分，比数来到4:1。 Hudson退场後，国民在八局本有机会至少可以将比数扳平，面对勇士後援投手Jonny Venters，国民在一人出局的情况下，攻占满垒。Michael Morse击出三垒方向软弱滚地 球，看来是个标准的双杀打，结果Chipper Jones没能把球抓好，让Johnny Gomes得到国民 的第二分。 Jesus Flores and Danny Espinosa followed and struck out. Rally killed. 接着上来的Jesus Flores跟Danny Espinosa惨遭连续三振，通杀。 "I thought Flores has some pitches to hit. He is usually pretty good in those situations. We just didn't get it done," Johnson said. "It's been kind of the same song all year long, but we battled. We got to the point where we had a chance to do something. We just didn't do that." Davey Johnson在赛後提到：「我想Flores有几个球是有机会的，通常在这种情况他可以 打得不错。我们就是没搞定。这种戏码好像持续演了一年，不过我们奋斗过。我们已经努 力到了门口，但就是没进去。」 The Nationals now head to Washington to play a 10-game homestand starting Friday against the Mets. 国民队接下来有连续10场的主场比赛，就从星期五对大都会的比赛开始。 "We head home. We play well at home. Hopefully, we can win some ballgames and put some people in the seats," Werth said. Jayson Werth说：「我们要回家了，我们在主场打得不错，希望我们可以多赢几场，并且 帮球队多卖几张票。」 --
