BALTIMORE -- During all the recent hype over farm-system gems such as Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Clay Buchholz, another one has slipped under the radar while trying to regain his consistency. Jon Lester came back into the limelight on Friday night at Camden Yards with perhaps his best pitching performance of 2007. In leading the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Orioles, Lester allowed four hits over seven shutout innings, striking out four. 巴尔的摩讯 在许多农场新人有惊人的表现之後，似乎有人被遗忘了。 Lester用本年度最好的表现，再度取回众人的焦点。七局投球只被打了四支安打，送出四 张老K，没有失分，带领红袜以4-0获胜。 Red Sox manager Terry Francona thought it was an eye-opening performance by the 23-year-old lefty. 粉柯南认为这个二十三岁的左投表现亮眼。 "I was kind of teasing him a minute ago," Francona said. "I said, 'Is that the guy I've heard about?' The ball came out of his hand. His cutter? That's the best I've seen him." 粉柯南表示 : " 我开玩笑的对他说 : '这是我认识的那家伙吗?' 这是我看过他投得最棒 的卡特球。 " Lester didn't think his manager was overrating the performance. Lester不认为粉柯南对他评价过高。 "It's been close for a while," Lester said. "Today was probably the best I've felt, just mechanically, all year. [I] just felt like I had a clue on where the ball was going. I knew how to correct the mistakes and the misfires and go from there." Lester表示 : "比赛一度很紧张。今晚是我整年感觉最棒的一晚。我把球控得很好，并且 总是能化解危机。" It was the third win in a row for Lester, who ran his record to 4-0, while lowering his ERA to 4.47. Lester拿下三连胜，他的战绩为四胜零败，自责分率4.47。 After battling his way back from anaplastic large cell lymphoma, Lester had to overcome both mental and physical obstacles to get back to the pitcher he always was. 经过癌症治疗後，Lester克服各种难关回到投手丘。 "I think it's well-documented what he's gone through," said Francona. "I don't need to go through all that. But I think as he gets removed from what he went through and he's able to take the mound and take his side days, his stuff is coming back. His knowledge is getting better. That was good stuff tonight. And there's always been the ability to compete and the will. We knew that. I thought his stuff was really good." 粉柯南表示 : "他表现得很精采。他展现出应有的实力，今晚真的很棒。他真的是很有实 力的一位投手。" By winning for the sixth time in the past seven games, the Red Sox moved to 86-66 on the season and also maintained their 6 1/2-game lead over the Yankees, who beat the Royals, in the American League East. Boston's magic number for clinching the division for the first time since 1995 is 15. 过去七场比战赢了六场，红袜战绩来到八十六胜五十六负(原文错了)，持续领先恩歪歪六 场半。魔术数字降为15，这也是自1995年以来的第一次。 Once Lester was through, the bullpen finished it off, with Javy Lopez working the eighth and Manny Delcarmen taking care of the ninth. Closer Jonathan Papelbon was unavailable after pitching in four of the previous five days. 牛棚接替Lester把比赛终结，Lopez投第八局，小manny负责第九局。过去五天出赛了四场 ，今晚Papelbon没有出赛。 "On a night we don't want to use [Hideki] Okajima, Pap is unavailable, [Eric] Gagne is not available, Javy goes 1-2-3 and Delcarmen comes in for a good inning," Francona said, "not only do we win, but our bullpen grows." 粉柯南表示 : "今晚我不打算让Okajima和Papelbon出赛，刚爷也无法出赛，Lopez和 小manny表现得很好，我们不只赢球，牛棚也得以成长。" In a game where the Red Sox often appeared to be in cruise control, there was a testy moment in the fourth inning. Coco Crisp, who has been a pest in the first two games of this series, led off with a single against O's starter Daniel Cabrera. After advancing to third with two outs, Crisp noticed that Cabrera wasn't doing a very good job holding him. 四局时，前两场的关键人物Coco又发威，从Cabrera手中率先击出安打。两出局後推进到 三垒，Coco觉得Cabrera没有在鸟他。 So Crisp bolted with the thought of stealing home. By the time Cabrera noticed, it was too late and he had no choice but to stop in mid-delivery. Crisp then froze also. Home-plate umpire Mike DiMuro quickly called a balk, and Crisp scored to give the Red Sox a 3-0 lead. 因此Coco决定盗本垒，Cabrera虽发现但为时已晚，还被主审判定投手犯规，Coco得到这一 分，红袜取得3-0领先。 Perhaps Cabrera was embarrassed or just incensed. His next pitch, a high blazing fastball, sailed behind Pedroia, prompting anger from the Boston bench. Cabrera大概感到很不爽，下一球差点击中小派，点燃红袜板凳的怒火。 Francona was irate, and so were several of the Boston players. Both benches emptied, but there was no altercation. After several minutes, Cabrera was at last ejected from the game. So was Boston backup catcher Kevin Cash, though nobody seemed sure why. 粉柯南和球员一样火气大。两边都倾巢而出，但幸好没发生争执。最後Cabrera和Cash 被赶出场。 "Coco took off," said Francona. "He did a great job -- took off and stopped." 粉柯南表示 : " Coco干得很好! " The Red Sox were perturbed that Cabrera reacted like he did. 红袜认为Cabrera是故意的而感到不爽。 "I think everybody in the whole stadium except him thought that was pretty stupid," Pedroia said. "Maybe he wanted to come out of the game. I don't know. I don't know what he was thinking." 小派说 : "我想大家都认为那球很愚蠢，也许他就是想下场，天知道他在想什麽。" There was no retaliation from Lester. He just kept throwing zeroes. Lester没受到影响，继续让金鸟挂蛋。 "What he did was exactly what he was supposed to do -- pitch his rear end off and win a game.," said Francona. "That's why we showed up." 粉柯南说 : "他做到他该做的事，那就是好好投球设法赢得比赛。" In the seventh, the Red Sox bumped the lead to 4-0 on an RBI single to left by Kevin Youkilis, who set an AL record by playing his 179th errorless game in a row at first base. 七局上，靠着Youk的安打红袜取得4-0领先。Youk在一垒防区已经连续一百七十九场没失 误。 Since Lester was locked in, all he needed was some run support. The Red Sox weren't overpowering with their bats, but they got the job done. 在Lester优异的压制下，他需要的是火力支援。红袜虽然没有强力的打线，但他们确实做 到了。 Boston got some early offense against Cabrera in the top of the second. Youkilis led off with a walk and J.D. Drew's ground-rule double set up second and third with nobody out. Jason Varitek produced the first run of the game, ripping a single to right to get Youkilis home. Crisp made it 2-0 with a sac fly to center. 二局时红袜就从Cabrera手中打下分数。Youk先安打上垒，Drew的场地二安形成没人出局 二三垒有人，队长打下第一分，Coco的牺牲打再打下第二分。 原文 http://0rz.tw/0c35W -- BOS for World Series Champion ! Keep in Faith . --
