Report: Eduardo Sanchez out as closer ESPN.com news services The St. Louis Cardinals are looking for a closer yet again. Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Saturday that the club has removed Eduardo Sanchez from his role a day after after the rookie was unable to hold a 5-4 lead in the ninth inning of the Cards' 10-inning loss to the Cincinnati Reds. 紅雀再度尋找關門投手。 周六紅雀投手教練Dave Duncan告訴St. Louis Post-Dispatch，球隊決定換掉 Eduardo Sanchez終結者的角色。因為他在對戰紅人的第九局時保不住5-4的領 先戰果，導致球隊在第10局輸掉。 Duncan cited the right-hander's drop in velocity and increase of pitches thrown per inning as reasons for the move. Sanchez was tabbed as the team's closer on April 27 after Ryan Franklin struggled. But since taking over for the veteran, Sanchez has averaged 22 pitches per inning over eight appearances as opposed to just 14 in his five outings prior to the promotion. Duncan 指出這位右投手球速下滑，單局投球量也增加不少，所以這是他被換掉的 原因。在Ryan Franklin低迷之後，Sanchez在4月27日被球隊授予終結者的位置。 從那位資深球員接下這位置之後，Sanchez 8次出賽每局平均投出22顆球 ，相較於前5次出賽只有每局14顆的投球數，還來的慘多了。 To replace Sanchez, the Cardinals will likely look to Fernando Salas or Mitchell Boggs. Miguel Batista and Trever Miller appear to be out of the running for closer duties after both were unable to record an out during the seventh inning Friday. 為了替代Sanchez終結者的角色，紅雀很可能會用Fernando Salas或者Mitchell Boggs。 Miguel Batista和Trever Miller則不在考慮名單，因為兩者在周五比賽的第七局時，連 一個人次都解決不了。 "Those are veteran guys," Duncan told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "They are expected to get the job done a high percentage of the time." Duncan告訴St. Louis Post-Dispatch提到：『他們都是老將了，期待他們能在那時間 有較高機率做好救援的工作。』 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6549813 --
