Instead, the Rockies took care of the Nationals, who lost Monday's game, 5-4, in front of 30,165 at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium. The Nationals have now lost nine of their last 12 games and find their lead in the National League East dwindling by the day. 正当他们在竞逐季後赛资格的路上，国民队理当击溃像落矶队 这种垫底的球队。但相反的，他们被落矶队好好地照顾了一番 ，在RFK球场30,165名观众面前，以5比4输掉了星期一的比赛。 国民队输掉了最近12场比赛中的九场，而且逐日缩小他们在国 联东区的领先。 For at least two weeks the Nationals' offense has been virtually nonexistent, but on Monday it was their defense that fell apart. Vinny Castilla's error in ninth proved most costly. With the score tied at 4 and closer Chad Cordero one strike away from getting out of the inning, Aaron Miles hit a routine groundball to Castilla at third base. But the ball went under Castilla's glove for an error and allowed Eddy Garabito to score from second base. Castilla has been playing with a bad left knee for most of the season, but he said it did not force him into the error. "I just missed the ball," Castilla said. "That's it. It's surprising because I always make those plays. When something goes bad, it's bad." 在过去二个礼拜里，国民队的攻击差不多是不存在的，但是在星期 一的比赛里，则是他们的防守导致输球。Vinny Castilla在第九局 的失误最为要命，在4比4平手且Chad Cordero差一个好球结束那个 半局的情况下，Aaron Miles打出一个朝向Castilla的平凡滚地球， 但球从Castilla的手套下穿过造成失误，而使Eddy Garabito从二 垒回来得分。Castilla大半个球季拖着他那糟糕的左膝上场，但他 说这不是造成那个失误的原因。"我失误了，"Castilla说，"就是 这样，那的确是很令人意见，因为我一向可以处理那些球。当有些 事情变坏，那就是坏的。" The losing pitcher was Cordero, while Jose Acevedo earned the victory and Brian Fuentes picked up his 13th save. 败战投手是Cordero，而胜投是Jose Acevedo，Brian Fuentes获得 第13次救援成功。 There were defensive lapses that cost the Nationals earlier in the game, as well. In the fifth inning, Castilla made a throwing error that allowed Dustan Mohr to go to second base. Mohr would later score on a Cory Sullivan triple. The next inning, Cristian Guzman had a shot to get Todd Helton at the plate, but he booted Garrett Atkins' grounder, allowing Helton to score and help the Rockies take a 3-2 lead. "It's the worst game we played all year long," manager Frank Robinson said. "It's unacceptable and it will not be acceptable here. We have been making sloppy plays that cost us runs in ballgames for quite some time, but it came to a head tonight. I'm not going to accept that." 还有一些失常的守备使国民队在稍早的比赛里付出代价。 第五局，Castilla一个传球失误造成Dustan Mohr攻占二垒， Mohr随後因Cory Sullivan的三垒安打回来得分。下一局， Cristian Guzman有机会在本垒板前抓到Todd Helton，但他 没处理好（booted）Garrett Atdins的滚地球，使Helton的 得分带给落矶队3比2的领先。"这是一整年来我们打得最差 的一场比赛，"总教练Frank Robinson说，"完全无法接受 (It's unacceptable and it will not be acceptable here. 不知道怎麽翻)，我们曾有些懒散的表现造成我们失去一些分 数，但今晚已到了严重关头，我无法接受这种表现。" The box score said the Nationals made three errors in the game, but they made many more mistakes on Monday. Guzman appeared to forgot how to bunt. In the second inning, after Brian Schneider led off with a single, Guzman tried to bunt, but he popped it up and the Rockies were able to double off Schneider at first base. Schneider led off again with a single in the eighth inning, but Guzman struck out making a bunt attempt. "They were throwing me a slider, fastball," Guzman said. "What can I say?" When asked how dishearting it was that Guzman couldn't lay down a bunt, Robinson said, "I wish my vocabulary would better describe [those situations]. But it's not, so I'll leave it as it is." 分数表显示国民队整场比赛有三次失误，但他们星期一其实犯了 更多错误。Guzman好像忘了怎麽触击。在第二局，就在Brian Schneider率先击出安打之後，Guzman试图触击，但他打了一个 内野飞球，使得落矶队得以双杀Schneider在一垒前。Scheider 在第八局再度率先击出安打，但Guzman触击失败而被三振。"他 们投给我一个滑球、快速球，"Guzman说，"我能说什麽？"当被 问到Guzman无法完成触击是如何挫折时，Robinson说，"我希望꜊琲涨r汇足以形容这个情形，但其实不能，所以就这样吧。" Preston Wilson thought he should have caught Sullivan's triple. Wilson was playing shallow center field, but Sullivan caught Wilson off guard by hitting the ball over his head. "He hit pretty decently and it kept carrying. I went back and the ball caught the heel of the glove," Wilson said. Even Jamey Carroll, the man Robinson calls the most fundamentally sound player on the Nationals, made a mistake. With runners on first and second in bottom of the ninth inning, Carroll took Fuentes' first pitch and hit into a double play to end the game, which didn't please Robinson. Carroll is best known for taking a lot of pitches. "It was right there and I hit it on the ground," Carroll said. "I knew he was trying to get ahead in that situation. He came right after me. It was a pretty good pitch. I hit the top of the ball and grounded out." Preston Wilson认为他应该可以接到Sullivan的三垒安打，Wilson 站在外野较浅处，但Sullivan抓到Wilson的这个防守，击出了越过 了他头顶的安打。「这球打得相当好，我往後退而球击中了手套下 缘」Wilson说。 Even Jamey Carroll，这个被Robinson称为国民队中最可靠的选手 ，发生了一个失误。九局下半一、二垒有人时，Carroll打了Fuentes 的第一个球，击出一个双杀打而结束这场比赛，Robinson当然不会 高兴，Carroll可是以耐心选球闻名。「我打了一个滚地球，」Carroll 说，「我知道他想赢，那球投得很好，我击中了球的上缘变成滚地球 出局。」 --------------------------------------------------------------- 网路不稳 先这样 --------------------------------------------------------------- Outfielder Jose Guillen is optimistic that the Nationals will have some good fortune soon. "Hopefully, we are going to catch a break, like everything is going to go our way," Guillen said. "Right now, nothing is going our way. That's baseball and you are not always going to have a good time." Nationals starter Tony Armas Jr. didn't get past the third inning, as he left the game because of dizziness and dehydration. Before he left, he gave up a run in the first inning as Eric Byrnes drove in Miles with a single. But the Nationals took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first off starter Byung-Hyun Kim. Wilson drove Jose Vidro home with a blooped double, while Guillen scored on a Ryan Church groundout. After the Rockies made it a 4-2 game, the Nationals found themselves back in it with Rockies reliever Mike DeJean on the mound. With the bases loaded and one out, Church hit a sacrifice fly which sent Vidro home, and Sullivan's throw in center field skipped past Atkins at third base, allowing Guillen to score the tying run. --
