Drew Storen reaches 40 saves with two in one day 40次救援!!Storen一日夺两次救援点。 After Drew Storen closed the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader, even though he had thrown 24 pitches, he did not apply ice to his elbow and shoulder. Manager Davey Johnson had asked him if he could pitch again at night if the Nationals took a lead with three outs left. Storen told him he could. 今天的双重赛第一场Storen已投了24球，而且之後并没有冰敷。 Davey要求他希望他能在第二场比赛需要他时上场，Storen说他可以。 “I want the ball in the ninth inning with the game on the line,” Storen said. Storen showed Tuesday why he has become one of the best in baseball in that situation. By completing a rare two-save day, Storen reached 40 saves on the season, placing him sixth in the majors. Storen’s 40 saves have come in 45 chances, giving him a better save percentage than Craig Kimbrel, the league leader with 45 saves. In Storen’s first full season, he’s placed himself among the elite closers in the league. Storen是目前Closer当中的佼佼者，经过今天的两次救援，Storen的救援点来到40， 在大联盟中排第六位。 40次救援来自45次的救援机会，这样的救援成功率甚至比Kimbrel还要棒! 而且这还只是Storen的第一个完整球季，这足以证明他是个精英份子。 Reaching 40 saves “was a goal of mine,” Storen said. “I wasn’t really sure I was going to get it. I didn’t know how I was going to be able to adapt to it over the long haul of the season. That’s kind of a learning process along the way. I’m happy to get there, but I know there’s still some left. It’s going to be a good building block for me.” 达到40次救援是个里程碑，Storen说:[我没有想到我能够达成这样的成就， 整个球季是相当漫长的，一路走下来我学到很多，我也很高兴我走过来了， 但我知道未来还有许多的挑战在等着我。] It is easy to forget now that Storen’s season began with a small amount of doubt regarding his spot on the 25-man roster. Storen’s ERA in spring training ballooned to more than 10.00. He remembers how awful and helpless it felt to stand on the mound and not be able to get anybody out, and he believes it has helped him. 大家大概都忘了Storen在刚开赛时甚至因为被放在25人名单中而备受质疑， 他在春训时的ERA甚至超过了10!!他还记得那个时候有多惨， 连要拿到一个出局数都是那麽困难，但他相信这些经验都能帮助他。 “It just shows you, this game is a funny game,” Storen said. “To be able to learn and just ask a lot of questions, that was a good learning experience to not take anything for granted. Even when I was throwing well at the beginning of the season, I was still trying to change things, still trying to stay on top of my game. Spring training was a big reason for that. It wasn’t fun to go through that, but in the end I probably wouldn’t have done as well without it.” Storen说:[说真的，尽管我开季时投得还不错，我还是一直调整我自己， 主要原因是因为那悲惨的春训，我希望我能维持好状况， 现在看起来真是有趣，不过当初那悲惨的体验也让我有了现在的成就。] Storen became only the fourth closer to save 40 games during a season in which he turned 24 (on August 1), joining Chad Cordero (47, 2005), Neftali Feliz (40, 2010) and Kimbrel (45 and counting, 2011). Storen是唯四位年纪小鱼24岁就拿到40次救援点的投手。 另外三位包含Cordero(47次，2005),Feliz(40次，2010),还有Kimbrel(45次,2011)。 Storen has been durable all season, and he reached his latest milestone with an abnormally durable showing. Storen threw 24 pitches to save the day game, allowing a leadoff double before preserving a one-run lead in the 10th inning. Storen breezed through a 1-2-3 ninth in the nightcap, striking out the last two hitters he faced. 说Storen很耐操，早上投完晚上继续投，而且修修修的就把最後两位打者三振。 “That was more what I like,” Johnson said. “The earlier one is not what I liked. He’s a pretty durable guy. I was a little worried about him, because he threw a lot of pitches in that first game.” Davey说他第二场投的比第一场更好，他很喜欢他的耐操， 尽管他早上投了不少球他有一点点担心。 Storen asked older teammates for advice on how to handle his time between games to prepare for pitching both. Rather than ice his arm, Storen tried to stay loose. He stretched more during the second game than he would, but he threw fewer than his typical number of warm-up pitches. Storen询问其他前辈如果他要投两场比赛，他该怎麽样准备? 比如说放松(?)，还有热身时投少一点球。 “I felt really good the second time around. I had never pitched twice in a day before. To be honest with you, waking up this morning, that’s not something I expected to do. … Once I threw that first game, I expected to throw the second. I’m pretty happy with it.” Storen从未一天投两场，但他感觉良好。 早晨起床时还没有想到会发生这样的事情， 但他投了第一场比赛後，他就有预感会发生、而且乐於投第二场比赛。 网址: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/post/drew-storen- reaches-40-saves-with-two-in-one-day/2011/09/21/gIQAK23xjK_blog.html#pagebreak --
