转录自 MLB.COM BOSTON -- A mysterious offensive shutdown had left the Red Sox, well, a little batty over the last few days. But several barrels found baseballs at opportune times Monday night in a much-needed 7-3 victory over the Rangers. BOSTON -- 一连串奇妙的打击熄火使得红袜，嗯，在前几天的比赛中显得古怪。但是在 星期一晚上的比赛中，队中的一些强棒终於适时的找到了靶心，带领红袜以7-3击败了游 骑兵，取得了这场非常需要拿下的比赛的胜利。 After scoring a grand total of eight runs in the previous four games, the Boston bats nearly produced that output in one soothing Fenway evening. 在前四场比赛只拿下八分之後，红袜今天在一个晚上就顺利的爆发接近前四场分数比赛的 产量。 And when they weren't hitting, they were running. Well, Jacoby Ellsbury -- perhaps the fastest player in the entire system -- was sprinting. In this third day in the Major Leagues, Ellsbury electrified the Fenway Park crowd by scoring from second on a wild pitch in the bottom of the fourth. 而当他们没有在打击时，他们就跑垒。Jacoby Ellsbury，这位也许是红袜队系统中最快 的球员，根本就在狂奔。在今天，也是他大联盟生涯的第三天，Ellsbury在第四局下半藉 着一个暴投从二垒跑回本垒得分，也把Fenway Park的观众都激励了起来。 "I told him today that I haven't seen it in the big leagues," said Red Sox veteran Eric Hinske. "I don't remember it in the Minor Leagues either. Man, he's fast." 「我今天跟他说我在大联盟还没看过这种跑垒，」Eric Hinske说。「我也不记得在小联盟 有这种事。天啊，他真的跑的很快。」 The wild pitch by Brandon McCarthy hit catcher Gerald Laird's leg and bounced in the direction of the Rangers dugout, located on the third-base side. Ellsbury read the play perfectly and never stopped running. 这记暴投是投手Brandon McCarthy投出的球击中捕手Gerald Laird的脚，而球往游骑兵的 休息室的方向弹了过去，刚好是三垒边的方向。Ellsbury完美的判断了这个暴投，一路不 停的跑垒。 "That's the first time," said Ellsbury, who has been filling in for the ailing Coco Crisp. "I've went from first to third quite a few times but never second to home. I saw the wild pitch early and I ... went for it and I saw [third-base coach] DeMarlo [Hale] pretty much waving me through after I was already by him. I made my mind up early that I was going." 「这是第一次，」顶替身体微恙的Coco Crisp的Ellsbury说。「我曾经很多次从一垒跑到 三垒过，但我从来没有从二垒就这麽跑回本垒过。我很早就看出那是记暴投，而我‧‧‧ 就往三垒跑，後来我在快抵达三垒前，又看到三垒指导教练DeMarlo Hale一直做出挥手转 圈的动作，督促我往本垒冲。我也下定决心要往本垒跑。」 It was a proud night for the Red Sox's farm system. Left-hander Kason Gabbard -- making his second start in place of the injured Curt Schilling -- earned the win by holding the Rangers to three hits and three runs over 5 2/3 innings. 这是个红袜农场系统值得骄傲的夜晚。左投Kason Gabbard，顶替受伤的Curt Schilling 的第二场先发，藉着5 2/3局中只被击出三支安打掉三分的表现封锁游骑兵，取得这场胜 投。 For Gabbard, it was quite a recovery after he walked six and hit a batter over just 3 1/3 innings six days earlier in Seattle. 对於Gabbard来说，这是六天前在西雅图只投了3 1/3局就投了六次保送以及一记触身球 创伤的复原。 "I felt a lot better than I did my last game," said Gabbard. "I think I had a little bit more command of my two-seamer. My fastball and my changeup were there like it usually is and I threw some pretty good breaking stuff." 「我比我上一场比赛做的好很多，」Gabbard。「我想我这场二缝线控制的比较好。我的 快速球和变速球比较像他们本来的样子，我也投了些很棒的变化球种。」 The Red Sox felt equally rejuvenated, snapping a skid in which they had lost five of six. They were able to salvage a split of this four-game set with the Rangers, who they won't see again in 2007. 红袜好像恢复了年轻，也击碎了最近六场输掉五场的窘境。他们将能够试着拯救对游骑兵 的连续四场系列赛的和局。红袜在2007将不会再遇到游骑兵。 "We've been struggling a little bit scoring runs, but it happens during the season," said Hinske. "You can't score 10 every night." 「我们在得分上有点挣扎，但这在季赛中本来就会发生，」Hinske说。「你不可能每一场 都得到10分。」 The bottom of the order got things started for the Red Sox in the third. Hinske led off with a single to right and Ellsbury displayed his speed in legging out an infield single. 第三局，後段棒次的打击开启了红袜的进攻。Hinske率先就击出右边方向的一垒安打，而 之後的Ellsbury也展现了他的脚程，藉着速度跑出了一支内野安打。 With one out, Dustin Pedroia -- another homegrown product -- went to the opposite field in right for a two-run double, breaking the scoreless tie. Manny Ramirez came within inches of a two-run homer but settled instead for an RBI double high off the wall in center to give Gabbard a three-run lead. 一人出局後，Dustin Pedroia，另一个农场出产的选手，击出反方向带有两分打点的二垒 安打，打破双分挂蛋的僵局。Manny Ramirez之後击出了一支打在中外野全垒打墙上，差 一点就成为全垒打的一垒安打，带着一分打点，也为Gabbard取得三分的领先。 Ellsbury ignited things again in the fourth, leading off with a single and then stealing second. Then, with the slumping Julio Lugo (no hits in 33 at-bats) at the plate, Ellsbury advanced the 180 feet on that wild pitch. Ellsbury在第四局又点燃了攻势，先击出了一支一垒安打，随後便盗上二垒。後来，在 Julio Lugo这位最近33打数全挂零的打者上场打击时，投手投出了一颗挖地瓜的球， Elsbury便藉着这记暴投，前进180英尺回到本垒。 Perhaps it was just the type of energy the Red Sox needed. 也许这就是红袜需要的那种活力。 "He can run, boy," said Sox catcher Jason Varitek. "He's got some lightning in his feet." 「喔，他真能跑，」红袜捕手Jason Varitek说。「他的脚好像有闪电。」 Gabbard no-hit the Rangers through four but ran into serious trouble in the fifth when Brad Wilkerson hammered a three-run homer to right. All of a sudden, the Sox were holding a slight 4-3 edge. Gabbard在前四局投出无安打，但在第五局遇到了严重的麻烦，Brad Wilkerson击出右外野 方向的三分打点全垒打。突然，红袜便只在4-3领先的边缘。 But Rangers reliever Willie Eyre did exactly what a team desperately tries to avoid, handing the momentum right back to the Sox. Ramirez and J.D. Drew worked one-out walks and Varitek loaded the bases with a two-out single to left. 但是游骑兵的中继投手Willie Eyre做出了一个球队极力想避免的事，也把动力交给了红 袜队。Ramirez和J.D. Drew都在一出局後获得保送，後来Varitek在两人出局後击出了一 支一垒安打，也把垒包挤满。 Hinske, who was a last-minute addition to the lineup because of a quad injury to Kevin Youkilis, belted a three-run triple to right-center. The Red Sox were back in charge at 7-3. Hinske，这位最後才因为Kevin Youkilis受伤而进入先发名单的打者，击出了右外野方向 的三垒安打。红袜又以7-3取得了比赛的主导权。 "I was just looking for a pitch out over the plate," said Hinske. "Got a good pitch to hit. Got in a hitters count, that was big. He threw two cutters inside. It was a 2-0 pitch, and I just put a good swing on a pitch down and barreled it up. That was big for us." 「我只是想等待一颗失投球，」Hinske说。「後来逮到了一颗好挥击的球。就我的球数而 论，这是一颗不能错过的球。他之前投了两个内角的Cutter，球数两个坏球没有好球，之 後，我就把这一颗偏低的球给拉起来。这对我们很重要。」 As for Ellsbury, he might be on the bench Tuesday with Crisp (sore left thumb) scheduled to return to the lineup. But in one memorable burst of speed, he left a glimpse of what the Red Sox hope is the future. 至於Ellsbury，他应该会在星期二的比赛坐板凳，因为这场比赛预计会让由於左手大拇指 酸痛休息的Crisp回到先发。尽管如此，他那令人印象深刻的速度的爆发，也看到了红袜队 希望的未来。 Ellsbury's emotional state as he made his way back to the dugout? 而Ellsbury在跑回本垒後，回到休息室的心情是？ "Excitement," Ellsbury said. "It's a hustle play. One of those where you hope you didn't make a bad decision. I was fired up. They were just joking around in the dugout saying there's not many people who could score from second like that." 「兴奋，」Ellsbury说。「那是一个忙乱的局面，一个你不希望做出错误决定的局面， 我真的很激动，而队友们指示在休息室里嘻嘻哈哈，说没有多少人像这样能够从二垒奔回 本垒。」 The way the last few days had gone, the Red Sox were just glad to score any way they could. 前几天比赛的情形已经过去。红袜队只是很高兴能够藉着所有可能的方法来取得分数。 不常翻译，如有错请指正。 ^^ --
