KANSAS CITY -- It's taken four years for Alex Rodriguez to feel comfortable playing for the Yankees. Now, he is producing one of the greatest seasons in club history. A-Rod花了四年适应洋基 现在 他要写下最佳的一个球季 A smiling and excited Rodriguez added another impressive chapter to his list of accomplishments on Saturday night in the Yankees' 11-5 win over the Royals. He set a Major League record and hit his 50th and 51st homers of the season, the 514th and 515th of his career, off Brian Bannister. 满脸笑容和兴奋的A-Rod在星期六的洋基球场多加了一条印象深刻的章节~11比5胜了皇家 "It takes some people four full years to get comfortable," Rodriguez said. "I am a goofy guy and I make a lot of mistakes. Sometimes you just have to be able to laugh at yourself, and I have not done that enough." "这需要整整四年去适应" A-Rod说 "我是愚笨的人 做出一堆错误 有时候你可以嘲笑自己 但我没有这麽做" The two blasts gave Rodriguez six homers in his past four games and eight in his last 10. Overall, A-Rod is batting .317 with 51 homers, 138 RBIs and 130 runs scored. A-Rod过去四场敲了六支全垒打(过去十场八支) 打击率.317, 138打点, 130次回来得分 "I think just the fun aspect of it," manager Joe Torre said of Rodriguez's ability to produce the statistics he has posted this season. "He is really having a good time. Who wouldn't with that kind of talent and the streak he is in right now? "我认为这个观点只是好玩性质" Torre说A-Rod今年有能力去改写数据 "他真的过了个好时光 谁不想拥有这种天赋和这种时刻?" "But even during the games, he is having fun, and that is something that I didn't see before this. I think it is going to pay off for him. If it is helping him, then it is helping us, too." "但我以前没有看他那麽高兴过 我想现在是他实现该有的价值 如果(天)帮助他 祂也在帮助我们" The first homer came in the fourth inning. Rodriguez hit a 3-1 Bannister pitch to straightaway center field for a two-run shot that gave New York a 4-0 lead. It appeared that center fielder Joey Gathright might have a play on the ball, but it cleared the center-field fence out of Gathright's reach. 四局下半的第一支全垒打 A-Rod在3B1S Bannister手上击出中间方向2分炮 比数拉到4-0 中外野手Gathright似乎也努力的追 但是球越过了篱笆 "I've faced a lot of other good home run hitters, and when you stay ahead of them, you do all right," Bannister said. "But when they know a strike is coming, they are a lot more dangerous." "我面对过许多好全垒打打者 你站在前面" Bannister说 "当他打出一个球飞了过来 那是危险的" A-Rod became the fourth player in Yankees history to hit 50 homers in a single season. Roger Maris, 61 in 1961, and Mickey Mantle, 54 in 1961 and 52 in 1956, are the only other Yankees to hit 50 since 1939. Babe Ruth hit 50-plus four times in his career, including 60 in 1927, 59 in 1921, 54 in 1928 and 54 in 1920. A-Rod是洋基史上第四位单季敲出50支全垒打的球员 Roger Maris 61, 1961 Mickey Mantle 54, 1961 ; 52, 1956 Babe Ruth 60, 1927 ; 59, 1921 ; 54, 1928 ; 54, 1920 "I said last night that this has been a pretty magical season so far, and to be doing it and winning games in the middle of a pennant race means that much more," Rodriguez said of hitting 50. "昨天晚上这是很美妙的球季 为了冠军赛而努力比赛"A-Rod打完50轰後说 "That is pretty incredible stuff," Torre said. "He is having more fun. I noticed that in Spring Training, and it has certainly carried over. I think it has given him an opportunity to just leave it there. If it wasn't a good day or a good at-bat, he just leaves it there and moves on. Whatever caused it, whatever he dealt with in the winter time, it is certainly working for him." "真是难以相信的本质" Torre说 "春训时我注意到他有这麽个机会" The first homer was Rodriguez's 48th as a third baseman. The blast broke his own American League record, set in 2005, for homers by an AL third baseman, and it tied the Major League record for homers by a third baseman in a single season. 这是他当三垒手的第48,49轰 也写下了MLB的纪录 Mike Schmidt hit 48 in 1980 with the Phillies, and Adrian Beltre tied the mark in 2004 with the Dodgers. Mike Schmidt和Adrian Beltre也都有48支HR Rodriguez broke the record two innings later with a solo shot in the sixth on a 3-1 pitch from Bannister. A-Rod now holds the single-season record for homers by a shortstop and a third baseman. A-Rod继续打破纪录 六局下又在Bannister投到3B1S时打了阳春炮 也继续在HR上保持李先 "It is very special," Rodriguez said. "I admire guys like [Brooks] Robinson and [Mike] Schmidt and [George] Brett and all of the great guys that have played before me. It just makes it very humbling, and I thank the good Lord for that." 真是特别 A-Rod说 "我崇敬许多伟大的球员 Brooks Robinson, Mike Schmidt. George Brett 需要谦虚的 感谢有这麽个时刻" The second homer, estimated at 382 feet, gave A-Rod eight multi-homer games this season and 52 in his career, providing New York with a 5-2 lead. 第二次的全垒打 382尺 今年第8次双响炮以上 生涯第52次 洋基取得5-2领先 "It is a comfortable spot to be there," Rodriguez said. "I want be there 10 times a game." 这是很好的节奏 A-Rod说 我希望有10次 This marks the third time that A-Rod has hit 50 homers in one season. He hit 52 in 2001 and 57 in 2002 as a member of the Texas Rangers. 这是第三次 A-Rod 完成50轰, 在游骑兵时 打了两次 52(2001), 57(2002) "It's special," he said. "We are in the middle of a pennant race, so it is a little bit of a different scenario. It's a lot more special in New York." "很特别 就像不一样得赛车比赛" A-Rod almost hit his third homer of the game in the Yankees' seven-run sixth inning, flying out to deep right-center off reliever Ryan Braun. If A-Rod had homered, it would have been the second time this week that he had homered twice in one inning. A-Rod有可能击出第三个HR 但是被接杀 否则是他第二次单周双次双响 "We almost saw something tonight that has almost never been done," Torre added. Torre说 今晚看了许多纪录 While Rodriguez jogged across the infield, the crowd of 35,518 gave him a loud ovation and several fans chanted, "MVP, MVP." 当A-Rod跑完一圈时 全场观众都在叫MVP "I know he is my player, but it is really hard to think that anyone's numbers can hold up to what he is doing," Torre said of the AL MVP race. 虽然它是我的球员 但是没有人能把握他会做出什麽事 "The bad side of this thing is that he does it so often, you are surprised when he doesn't do it," Torre added. "I still marvel -- we all do. It is an honor to watch this stuff. There is no question about it. Every at-bat, the excitement that he generates and the fact that we are in a pennant race certainly helps us a great deal." 他一直做相同的事 但他不做的时候你又会很惊讶 看这这场球赛觉得很光荣 对他的表现没有任何疑问 A-Rod was hit on the left elbow by a Luke Hochevar curveball in the eighth inning. Shelley Duncan pinch-ran for Rodriguez, and A-Rod earned another loud ovation from the crowd when he left the field. 8局时A-Rod遭到触身球 Duncan代跑 全场观众又起立鼓掌 "I said, 'You should hit this time after hitting two homers,'" Torre said. "After being hit by a pitch, I made a nice decision for you. He is so loose and free and easy right now." Torre说 "在下场後 他现在很放松" And comfortable. --
