BOSTON -- Prospects in a pennant race? For the Boston Red Sox, that mix has been nothing short of perfect in these first two days of September. 波士顿讯 靠新秀拿下分区第一？对红袜而言，九月的前两天，新秀们的表现只能用完美两字形容。 Less than 24 hours removed from Clay Buchholz's no-hitter, the Red Sox received strong performances from center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury and left-handed starter Jon Lester. The result was a 3-2 victory in the rubber match of a three-game series against the Orioles. 距离巴克雷投出无安打比赛不到二十四小时，红袜的中外野手艾杰可，以及左投手雷琼的 表现无疑是支强心剂。这场比赛的结果，是红袜以三比二力克金莺，赢得这个你来我往的 系列赛。 Ellsbury, who is Boston's best position prospect, belted his first career home run in the bottom of the fourth inning and made a tremendous diving catch in the fifth. 艾杰可是红袜最强的新秀野手，他在四局下打出生涯第一支全垒打，而且在五局上演出精 采的飞身扑球美技。 Lester, back after a one-start return to the Minor Leagues, earned the win by limiting the Orioles to six hits and two runs over six-plus innings. 雷琼在回到小联盟投了一场比赛之後重新出发，六局多一点点的投球当中，他藉着让金莺 只击出六支安打得到两分获得胜投。 "It's kind of an exciting day when we can send out some young kids right in the middle of a pennant race and be excited about it," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "Their impact of the game was everywhere. That's a really good feeling. Sometimes you get in positions where guys are beat up and you're playing people. But when you've got young guys coming up and you're excited about them helping you win, that's a good feeling." 粉科南表示：『我对於我们能够把一些小伙子派上场去争夺分区第一感到兴奋，这样的日 子分外刺激。他们对比赛造成的冲击无所不在。这种感觉很好，有时候你是被别人打高兴 的，但是当你派新血上场的时候，你对於他们能够帮你获得胜利感到兴奋，这种感觉实在 是真他妈，爽。』 Brandon Moss, yet another callup, also made his presence felt. Making the start in place of the injured Manny Ramirez, Moss rammed into the Green Monster to make a nice catch. 莫布兰，另一位新秀，也有亮眼的表现。他代替受伤的雷曼尼上场先发，演出向着绿色怪 物疾奔的漂亮接杀。 "It's been fun to watch," said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. "We've talked for a few years now about how our biggest organizational challenge is to develop players who can come up in the middle of a pennant race and contribute. I think we saw that happen a little bit this weekend. It's a credit to our scouting and player-development staff and to our Major League staff to have the right touch with these guys and seamlessly integrate them into the big league club." 红袜总经理艾席欧表示：『在场边观战着实令人兴奋。我们这几年来一直在讨论的，关於 整个球队最大的问题，就是如何培养能够在争夺分区第一的时候上场并作出贡献的选手。 我想这个周末我们稍微看到一点成果了。这对我们的球探还有农场以及大联盟人员而言都 让人感到欣慰，因为他们找到的这些人在经过一番努力之後已经整合成能够在大联盟崭露 头角的人物了。』 Not that it was all about the youth movement. J.D. Drew made a tremendous throw from right field for an inning-ending double play in the fourth. Mike Lowell, Mr. Reliability, drove in two more runs to give him 97 RBIs for the season. 以上是年轻人的表现，然而其他人并不让他们专美於前。祖杰第在四局上演出了精采的双 杀守备，他在右外野接杀打者之後回传本垒，让捕手触杀了想藉着牺牲打奔回本垒得分的 戴米格。而娄麦克，可靠先生，则是打下两分打点，使他本季打点数攀升至九十八个。 The Orioles made a strong comeback bid from after being down, 3-0, and had a chance to tie the game in the top of the eighth after putting a runner at third with one out. But Hideki Okajima got himself out of that jam by striking out Kevin Millar and Aubrey Huff. 金莺眼见落後三分，於是全队上下愤而急起直追，他们在八局上一度兵临城下，一出局， 三垒有人。然而欧西代从容不迫的三振了米凯文以及贺阿布，解决了这个维基。 Jonathan Papelbon effortlessly put away the Orioles in the ninth for save No.31 潘约瑟九局上半轻松的解决掉三位打者，获得本季第三十一次救援成功。 With the win, the 82-75 Red Sox boosted their lead over the Yankees back to six games in the American League East with 25 games to go. 此胜之後，红袜目前战绩为八十二胜五十五败，领先洋基六场胜差，而正规季赛还有二十 五场。 "I didn't want us to have a letdown because of how exciting everything was last night, and I think Jon did a good job," said Lowell. "He gave us a quality start. We were able to hold on to a lead. Oki did a great job in the eighth. It was a good win. Lose the first game, come back and win the series, that's a good job." 娄麦克表示：『我不希望我们因为昨天的精采表现之後今天就松懈下来，而且我觉得雷琼 投的很好，是个优质先发哪。而我们能够保持领先也很重要，欧西代八局的表现很精采。 这场球赢的漂亮。是男人就要在输了第一场之後，扳回两场，赢得系列赛。』 The Red Sox broke out first against Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera when Lowell belted an RBI single to left in the bottom of the first, extending his hit streak to 15 games. They got another jolt when Ellsbury put one into the Boston bullpen in right-center for a solo shot. 红袜在一局下就先驰得点，娄麦克从金莺先发投手柯丹尼手里打了支左外野方向的一分打 点一垒安打，这也将娄麦克连续安打的场次推进到十五场。然後红袜又撼动了金莺全队， 艾杰可击出一记飞进右外野红袜牛棚的阳春炮。 "It was very exciting," Ellsbury said. "You know, I wasn't really trying to do too much with it, just try to hit it where it's pitched and hit it hard. ... He left a changeup up in the zone, and I was just hoping [Nick] Markakis wasn't going to catch it. 艾杰可表示：『爽啦！你知道，我并不是故意要打全垒打的XD，我只是试着要狠狠的打到 球而已XD。他那个变速球投高了，然後我一直希望马尼克接不到XD。』 While Ellsbury's ability to hit for contact and blaze around the bases and center field are well-known, his power is his biggest unknown. 艾杰可的选球能力以及跑垒能力和守备能力早已是司马昭之心，然而却没有人知晓他有如 此的爆发力。 "Right after we signed him, we brought him in here with wood and he was launching balls over our bullpen," Epstein said. "I don't think we have any questions about his raw power. I think, as he learns his swing and as he continues to develop, he's going to figure out how to backspin the ball more consistently. When he does, he has much more raw power than you would think from his frame." 艾席欧表示：『我们刚签下他的时候，带他来这边，给他一枝木棒，然後他就把球打到牛 棚去了。他天生神力这点是无庸置疑的。我想，当他学习挥棒的技巧之後，他会知道如何 更有效的让打出去的球持续旋转。而当他也学会这项继能之後，他将拥有远超过你从他的 身型所能想像的爆发力。』 While O's Cabrera was holding his own, the Red Sox were doing just enough to maintain the lead. Dustin Pedroia led off the fifth with a double to left and Alex Cora sacrificed him to third. That put Lowell in position to loft a sac fly to left. 当柯丹尼死命硬撑的时候，红袜则是想方设法保持领先。裴达斯在五局上率先击出二垒安 打，接着柯亚立的牺牲打让他奔上三垒，於是娄麦克再补一支牺牲打让他回来得分。 Aided by some strong defense, Lester had a shutout after five. 拜铜墙铁壁般的守备所赐，雷琼前五局让金莺局局挂零。 The Orioles got one back in the sixth on Melvin Mora's RBI single to left. Ramon Hernandez led off the seventh with a homer into the Monster seats, and that was all for Lester, who picked up the win to improve to 3-0. 金莺在六局上展开反攻，靠着莫梅文一支左外野的一垒安打追回一分。七局上，贺雷蒙一 上来就甩了雷琼一记飞上绿色怪物观众席的阳春炮。然後雷琼接着下台一鞠躬，最後他获 得胜投，目前战绩是三胜零败。 "It felt good," said Lester, "a lot better than my last couple of starts. When I was in Portland, I started to figure some things out consistency-wise and where my body is, where my arm was at. ... At times today, I felt really, really good." 雷琼表示：『这感觉很好，比我上两场先发都好。我在波特兰的时候开始在认真思考一些 事情，关於我的身体和我的手臂之类的。而今天我觉得非常，非常的好。』 Lester had plenty of familiar company on the field with him in this one. 今天雷琼在场上看到了许多熟面孔。 "We've come up through the system together," said Lester. "We know what we can do and we push each other. Jacoby made some great plays out in center today as did Moss. You know, [Pedroia] made some plays up the middle. The defense played really well, and it's fun to see those guys up here." 雷琼表示：『我们都是从同一个系统出身的。我们知道我们能干些什麽，而且我们也互相 鼓励。杰可跟布兰今天在外野的表现都很精采。然後你知道，小裴的表现也很不错。今天 的守备真是固若金汤，而且在这里看到他们几个真的很有意思。』 原文网址http://0rz.tw/5031i --
