第一次尝试翻译，请大家不吝指教。 这篇上面有人翻过了。 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. 20胜是每一位优秀的先发投手所渴望的，即使Beckett说他并不会去在意这件事，但在这 麽样接近他职业生涯第一次如此令人印象深刻的胜场总和之际，Beckett还是非常担心。 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. 在Beckett获得18胜之後，不得不去提到Crisp在两出局後一支及时的安打，在星期天的下 午，红袜3-2打败了巴尔的摩，以从挣扎的金莺手中拿下四战三胜的成绩结束这次只有一 站的客场之旅。 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 对Beckett来说，这只是在他职业生涯中最好的一季中路线的另外一站。这位王牌右投在7 局好投中扫灭了金莺，8次三振且没有保送。他失去了2分，2分都是阳春全垒打。Beckett 保持全大联盟胜投的并列领先，也在美联赛扬奖竞争者中保持领先。 "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说：「我试着去赢19胜」，「上星期我说我试着去拿下18胜，现在我会去试尝赢 19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. 他的机会将会在星期六的芬威球场，一场与洋基队以及与他并列胜投领先的美联赛扬争夺 者王建民的比赛。 "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." 「我为他的所作所为感到骄傲，」红袜队的右投Schilling谈到Beckett说：「我在春训的 时候看见了他试图改变并作一些调整，而现在就是表现出来。看见这些事是有趣的，他现 在就像那些在伟大领域的投手一样的好。」 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最艰困的挑战出现在7局下半，三垒有人而且是麻烦的Roberts打击区，在连续投 了9颗火球之後，Beckett以一记本垒板前落地的变速球解决了Roberts也结束了他116球的 表现。 "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." 「Roberts七局的那个打击是个杰出的打击。」红袜队的总教练Francona说，「以我们的 角度来说，我们更厉害，因为我们让他出局了；一个联盟中的好打者对决一个联盟中的好 投手，他必须做到这麽好，因为那不容许任何错误出现。」 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很有可能运气不好的无关胜败下离场，但是在1好2坏的情况下，Crisp从金莺的 救援投手Bradford手中敲出中间方向安打让Drew得分也打破了2-2的僵局，终结了无关胜 败的可能性。 "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." 「这是一支伟大队伍的做为。」Beckett说：「他们得到了重要的一分，不只是为了我， 我们今年做了很多这样的事。」 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. 藉着胜利，87胜57败的红袜在美联东区继续对洋基保持着5 1/2的领先，同时将在分区封 王的魔术数字缩短到了14。 "We showed up today to win and we did," said Francona. "It was a tough one, but we did a good job." 「我们表现出要赢球的样子而且我们做到了。」Francona说：「这是一场艰困的比赛，但 是我们干的很好。」 The 1-2 punch of Hideki Okajima (scoreless eighth) and Jonathan Papelbon (save No. 35 in the ninth) closed it out for Beckett. Okajima（无失分的第八局）和Papelbon（第九局，第35救援）的两记重拳帮Beckett守住 了比赛。 "They've been the backbone of that deal out there," said Beckett 「他们已经成为比赛分配的主要依靠了。」Beckett说。 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就像以往一样的有主宰力。在第9局Mora打出一支断棒的安打之前，追朔到8月17 日，Papelbon已经连续让17名打者出局了。 "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." 「我知道我正处於一个让人连续出局的情况下，但我不会因此陷下去然後计算着我的做为 或者回到家将我的表现给记下来。」Papelbon说：「我就是跳脱那样的状况，然後试着重 复前些日子我所做的，并且持续向前。」 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3局发挥第一次的团队合作，Pedroia用一支一出局後的安打开始，Ortiz不只是用 一支刚好穿越站在右外野的二垒手Roberts的平飞安打击垮了极度调防，而且这球打的强 劲到一路滚到了全垒打墙形成一支二垒安打；Lowell，波士顿今年最好的打点制造机，他 知道该做什麽，他打出了一支中外野方向带有两分打点的一垒安打。 "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." 「Beckett得到了两分的缓冲，但是金莺觉得他们应该要重振旗鼓对抗他。」Lowell说： 「这并不容易办到。」 The Orioles got one back in the bottom of the fourth, courtesy of a solo homer to left by Mora. Mora在四局下半轰出左外野方向阳春炮，金莺拿了一分回来。 Nick Markakis launched the O's second solo homer to left to tie the game at 2 in the bottom of the sixth. Markakis在六局下半挥出了金莺第二支阳春全垒打将比赛带至2-2平手。 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? 但这些就是他们对抗Beckett所能做的全部了，对一支队伍来说，拥有一名王牌投手来实 现这样始终如一的比赛结果有多重大的意义呢？ "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." 「你无法对此定下一个明确的评价。」Lowell说：「在联盟中，能像这样的人并不多，我 们知道就算他状况不好的时候，他依然能够给我们赢球的机会，这种感觉很棒，这就是他为什麽 是个王牌，这就是为什麽他确确实实是赛扬奖候选人之一。」 -- 想被打满贯就选Manny 想被打再见就选Papi --
