BALTIMORE -- The No. 20 is one that every elite starting pitcher covets. And even if Josh Beckett claims not to be thinking about it yet, he is getting tantalizingly close to notching that impressive win total for the first time in his career. Behind win No. 18 from Beckett -- not to mention a timely two-out hit from Coco Crisp -- the Red Sox rolled out of Baltimore with a 3-2 conquest on Sunday afternoon. The one-stop road trip ended with the Red Sox taking three out of four against the struggling Orioles. 巴尔的摩讯 Beckett正朝着生涯第一个二十胜迈进。星期天的下午红袜以3-2打败金鸟。在四场金鸟客 场之旅取得三胜。 For Beckett, it was just another stop en route to his finest Major League season. The ace right-hander mowed the Orioles down over seven solid innings, striking out eight and walking nobody. He gave up a pair of runs -- both on solo homers. Beckett (18-6, 3.27 ERA) maintained a share of the Major League lead in wins, and he remains as one of the leading contenders for the American League Cy Young Award. 这是Beckett有史以来表现最棒的一个球季。七局投球送出8K，没有任何保送，被打了两 支阳春弹，战绩为十八胜六负，3.27的自责分率，仍然保持在CYA的竞争行列。 "I'm trying to win 19," Beckett said. "I told you I was trying to win 18 last week. Now I'll try to win 19." Beckett表示 : "我上礼拜说过我试着拿到第十八胜，现在我试图拿到第十九胜。" His chance to do that will come on Saturday at Fenway Park in a matchup with the Yankees and fellow AL Cy Young contender Chien-Ming Wang, who's also tied with Beckett in victories. 下次他将在自家主场碰上和他并列胜投王的王建民。 "I'm so proud of what he's done to this point," Red Sox right-hander Curt Schilling said of Beckett. "I saw it last year. I saw the attempt in Spring Training [this year] to change and make adjustments, and now it's playing out. It's fun to watch. He's as good a pitcher as there is in the big leagues right now." 席林姊说 : "他的表现让我骄傲，他现在是联盟里的顶级投手之一。" Beckett's toughest encounter came in the bottom of the seventh inning with a runner on third and the pesky Brian Roberts at the plate. After throwing nine straight heaters, Beckett ended his 116-pitch outing by fanning Roberts on a changeup in the dirt. Beckett在七局下遇到麻烦，三垒有人轮到Roberts打击。投了九个球之後，Beckett用一 颗变速球K掉了Roberts。 "The Roberts at-bat in the seventh, it's a phenomenal at-bat," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "From our side, it's better, because we got him out. One of the better hitters in the league against one of the better pitchers in the league. And he had to be that good, because there was no margin for error." 粉柯南表示 : "Roberts那个打席表现很好，但从我们的角度来看，能解决他是很棒的事 情，这是个不容许犯错的对决。" Beckett was nearly left with a tough-luck no-decision, but Crisp ended that possibility by lacing a 2-1 pitch from O's reliever Chad Bradford up the middle to score J.D. Drew and snap the 2-2 tie. Beckett退场时比数还是2-2，但Coco的安打让他有机会拿下胜投。 "That's what great teams do," said Beckett. "They come through for one another, not just for me. We've done that a lot this year." Beckett表示 : "我们的队伍真的很棒，不只这一场比赛，我们整年都表现得很好。" With the win, the 87-57 Red Sox kept a 5 1/2-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East, while shrinking their magic number for clinching the division to 14. 赢球後，红袜继续以八十七胜五十七败领先恩歪歪五场半，魔术数字降到14。 "We showed up today to win and we did," said Francona. "It was a tough one, but we did a good job." 粉柯南表示 : "这场胜利得来不易。" The 1-2 punch of Hideki Okajima (scoreless eighth) and Jonathan Papelbon (save No. 35 in the ninth) closed it out for Beckett. Okajima和Papelbon帮Beckett守住胜利。 "They've been the backbone of that deal out there," said Beckett. Beckett : "他们稳稳的保住胜利。" Papelbon has simply been masterful as of late. Before Melvin Mora got a broken-bat single in the ninth inning, Papelbon had retired 17 batters in a row, dating back to Aug. 17. Papelbon表现相当出色。九局被Mora打了支断棒安打，在这之前他已经连续解决了十七位 打者。 "I know I'm putting together some good streaks out there, but I don't sit there and count what I'm doing or go home and write down what I'm going to do," Papelbon said. "I just go out there and try to repeat what I did the day before and just try to run with it." Papelbon表示 : "我并不在意数字，我只是把每次上场该做的工作做好。" The Red Sox generated their first rally in the third inning, with Dustin Pedroia getting it started with a one-out single. David Ortiz not only beat the shift by barely scraping a liner by second baseman Roberts, who was in shallow right field, but the ball was hit so hard that it rolled all the way to the wall for a double. Mike Lowell, Boston's best run producer this season, knew what to do, hammering a two-run single up the middle. 红袜在三局展开攻势，一出局後小派击出安打，接着老爹打了支强劲的安打，然後，今年 最火热的打者卖肉贡献了一支两分打点的安打。 "You get [Beckett] a two-run cushion, and the other team thinks they need to mount a rally against him," Lowell said. "That's not easy to do." 卖肉表示 : "Beckett有两分领先在手，要试图从他手中要回分数是很不容易的。" The Orioles got one back in the bottom of the fourth, courtesy of a solo homer to left by Mora. 四局下靠Mora的阳春弹金鸟讨回一分。 Nick Markakis launched the O's second solo homer to left to tie the game at 2 in the bottom of the sixth. 六局下Markakis的阳春弹又要回一分。 But that was all there would be against Beckett. How much does it mean for a team to have an ace deliver such consistent results? 但也仅止於此。拥有像Beckett这样稳健的王牌投手，对球队的贡献有多大呢? (这段我不确定 = =) "You can't put a price tag on it," Lowell said. "It's humongous. There's not too many guys in the league that are like that. We know that even when he doesn't have his good stuff, he's going to give us a chance to win. That's a good feeling. That's why he's an ace. That's why he's one of the Cy Young candidates for sure." 卖肉表示 : "我们无法衡量他的价值，联盟里没有多少人能像他一样。有时後即使他状 况不好，他还是会设法让我们赢球，这就是他是王牌的原因，同时也是赛扬候选人之一 。" 原文 http://0rz.tw/ac35G -- Beckett for CYA ! --
