Cubs aim to sweep Cards behind righty Volstad 小熊离横扫红雀只差明天Volstad先发那场 By A.J. Cassavell / MLB.com | 4/25/2012 12:17 AM ET The Cardinals were off to a red-hot start when they went to Wrigley Field to begin a three-game series. The Cubs, meanwhile, were struggling to find an elusive series victory. 红雀在来到Wrigley Field进行三连战前，已经不若开季那麽火烫了。而小熊，还在为 赢得一个系列战奋斗中。 Well, thus far the Cubs have walked off with that series victory, and after winning the first two games in dramatic fashion, they are hoping the new-found momentum carries into what would be their first sweep of the arch-rival Cards since September 2010. 但是，目前小熊连续已两场敲出再见安打。在取得前两场戏剧化的胜利後，他们希望能 取得自2010年9月以来，第一次在系列战横扫红雀。 After two walk-off wins to start the series, the Cubs will have to contend with Cardinals righty Lance Lynn, who is off to one of the best starts in baseball at 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA. 在连续两场以再见安打坐收後，小熊必须要面对红雀队的右投手Lance Lynn。Lance Lynn 目前是联盟开季最火烫的选手之一，目前3胜0败，防御率只有1.42。 The 24-year-old righty has confused hitters by mixing up pitch sequences, and his aggressive approach continues to allow him to work deep into games. Lynn was the first Cardinals pitcher to record three wins this season and on Wednesday, in his first appearance at Wrigley Field, he's looking to become the first to reach four. 这位24岁的右投手用它的配球迷惑了大联盟的打者，而且他那积极的投球策略 也让他能撑到後面的局数。Lynn在美国时间礼拜三的比赛里成为红雀第一个拿到三胜的投 手，而且明天它也有可能成为第1个四胜投手。 Cubs righty Chris Volstad, looking for his first win of the season, takes the mound opposite Lynn. Volstad hasn't won a game since July 10, when he was with the Marlins. He faced the Cardinals earlier in the season, allowing four runs in six innings in a losing effort. 小熊的右投手Chris Volstad，则是要寻求他本季的第一胜。Volstad从去年七月十号开始 就没赢过球了，那时他是在马林鱼队投球。他这季也曾面对过红雀一次，那次他在六局里 丢了四分吞下败投。 Lynn will have to contend with Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, who appears to be turning a corner after a rough start to the season. Holliday is hitting just .215, but he hit a crucial homer on Tuesday night after going 2-for-3 on Monday. Lynn可能要和我们家的左外野手Matt Holliday一同奋斗，Holliday在经历了 惨淡开季之後最近有回温的现象。尽管他的开季至今打击率只有2成15，但他在昨天的比 赛三之二後，今天又击出了一支关键全垒打。 "I've seen it coming for a while," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "You can tell his timing's getting real close. It's a good thing for him to get a couple games of results, even if they're bloops. He deserves them. If this game all equals out like they say it does, he's due for some cheap ones." Matheny说:"我看到他的状况这阵子有回来了。你可以分辨得出他的打击timing变准了。 即便有些球是德州安打，但他这两场的好成绩对他仍会是件好事。他值得这些好表现。 如果这场比赛上场都是出局，那一定是因为他打了一些不营养的球。" Cardinals: Matheny confident in 'pen ‧ Matheny has put a lot of faith in his bullpen this season. Jaime Garcia's 7 2/3 innings on Monday were the most by a St. Louis starter. The biggest reason for being conservative with his rotation, Matheny said, is what his deep bullpen brings to the table. 红雀消息：Matheny对牛棚依旧有信心 ‧Matheny对这季牛棚依旧充满信心。Jaime Garcia在昨天的7又2/3局已经是这季红雀先发 最长的局数了。Matheny坦言，他对於轮值的安排态度保守的原因是来自於我们深厚的牛 棚战力 "A lot has to do with your confidence in your bullpen," Matheny said. "We haven't been killing these guys and they've been doing a great job. [Until] we get to that spot where thay may be getting one, tired, and two, over-exposed to certain hitters, I don't see that changing." Matheny说:"要对你的牛棚充满信心。我们不是在操这些家伙，而且他们也表 现得不错啊。直到我们投手太累或面对太多打者之前，我是不会换投的。" But the bullpen has blown leads each of the last two nights for Matheny, whose Cards sit four games above .500 at 11-7. 但是牛棚连续两个晚上都败掉领先的分数，这四场被打击率是超过五成的１１之７ ‧ Dating back to last season, the Cardinals had won 13 consecutive series until Tuesday night. That number included a game in Miami to start the 2012 campaign, but it didn't include any of their playoff victories from last October. ‧从上季开始，红雀连续赢了13个系列战，可惜被今天晚上的输球给中断了。这13个系列 战包含开季对马林鱼的那场，而且还没算进来去年季後赛的系列战三连胜 The last NL team to win 14 straight series was the 1993 Braves. 上一次有国联球队连续赢了14个系列战是1993年勇士队 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cubs: Power outage ends ‧ The Cubs' nine game homerless drought started and ended with first baseman Bryan LaHair. After a grand slam on April 13 in St. Louis, Chicago didn't go deep until LaHair's ninth-inning game-tying blast. It ended the Cubs' longest streak without a homer since a 10-game stretch in 2007. "We have to do a lot of other things besides hit home runs," manager Dale Sveum said before Tuesday's game. "Slugging percentage is more than just hitting home runs. It's driving balls in the gap when guys are on, it's pulling the ball down the line. Slugging percentage is more important than the home runs." ‧ The Cubs notched their first home series win since taking two of three from Milwaukee last Sept. 19-21. 小熊的消息就不翻了,有兴趣的板友自己看吧@@ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Worth noting ‧ Both Yadier Molina and Holliday have six hits in 14 career at-bats against Volstad, good enough for a .429 average against the Cubs right-hander. Yadier Molina 跟 Holliday对战Volstad都在14个打席敲出6支安打, 是很漂亮的4成26对 战打击率 ‧ Joe Mather's walk-off single on Monday made him the first former Cardinals player to have a walk-off RBI for the Cubs against St. Louis since Jerry Morales on Sept. 22, 1981. Joe Mather昨天的再见安打让他成为在Jerry Morales後第一个"前红雀球员替小熊对红雀 敲出再见打点的球员" P.S:文章标题是取官网首页下的标题,因为原文的标题实在是很不争气阿(叹 感想: 这篇外电标题下得像小熊版的新闻一样.... 拜托红雀振作点阿!! --
