Cardinals even NLDS with offensive outburst Beltran hits two of team's four homers; 'pen steps up after Garcia exits By Jenifer Langosch / MLB.com | 10/8/2012 9:59 PM ET ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ST. LOUIS -- If ever a non-elimination game could be pegged as a must-win one, Monday's Game 2 of the National League Division Series set up to be just that for the Cardinals. 聖路易消息-- 有一種比賽是無關淘汰但卻必須要贏下來的，這場禮拜一的NLDS的Game2 對紅雀而言正是這種比賽。 Facing the prospect of falling behind, 0-2, in the best-of-five series, the Cards no longer have to worry about climbing out of a hole that no NL team has emerged from in DS history. Rather, the Nationals and Cardinals head to Washington all even, as the Redbirds overcame an injury to their own starter by ambushing Jordan Zimmermann to run away with a 12-4 victory in front of 45,840 at Busch Stadium. 在MLB歷史上，在五戰三勝制裡陷入0-2絕對落後的國聯球隊，從來沒有人能勝出。而紅雀 ，順利避免了陷入這種窘境。在Busch Sadium的45,840觀眾面前，紅鳥們成功克服先發投 手受傷的困境，把對方投手Jordan Zimmermann 打趴，以12-4的大勝帶著平手的戰績前往 華盛頓。 "We wanted to come out and make a statement and tie this up before we went to D.C.," said Daniel Descalso, who contributed a two-hit, two-RBI day. "We came out and did exactly what we wanted to today." Daniel Descalso 今天貢獻兩支安打，帶有兩分打點。 Descalso表示："我們都很想要有所表現，並且在我們前往華盛頓D.C.之前打平這個系列 戰。結果，我們做到了，也打出我們預期的表現。" Neither Zimmermann nor Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia lasted long in this one, though manager Mike Matheny's decision to yank Garcia after two innings was due entirely to necessity. The lefty labored through two innings, threw 51 pitches and went to a 3-2 count against five of the 11 batters he faced. 這場Zimmermann跟紅雀先發Jaime Garcia都投得不久，儘管總仔Mike Matheny讓Garcia 只投兩局是個不得不的調度。這名左投他在這兩局用了五十一球，其中面對的11個打者 只有5個是在三球內解決的。 REDBIRD ROUTS Most runs scored by the Cardinals in a postseason game Date Opp. Game Res. 10/22/2011 Tex.

"It just didn't feel right," Garcia said shortly after undergoing an MRI exam. "It was hurting and wasn't feeling the way it has been the last couple of weeks." Results of the MRI are expected back on Tuesday. Garcia 離開投手丘時仍處於一分落後。在第二局時，她主動告知總仔Matheny他的左肩 感覺有點不太對勁，而且從上禮拜五場邊練投開始就有了。事實上，他的左肩在球季初 就曾經受傷過了。 (這段不太確定...) Garcia簡短地表示："左手臂的感覺很不對勁。左手受傷了，而且跟最近幾個禮拜的感覺 不同。" 隨後，他也去接受了MRI的檢查。 MRI的檢查結果預期會在美國時間禮拜二時出來。 With Garcia out, Lance Lynn was summoned to step in. The Cardinals' offense ensured he was welcomed with a lead. Facing a pitcher they have had sustained success against, the Cards scored four times off Zimmermann to take a second-inning lead. Singles by Allen Craig and Yadier Molina started the stirring. David Freese drove home the tying run with a double, and Descalso followed with an RBI single. A productive out by pinch-hitter Skip Schumaker extended the lead, after which Jon Jay drove home one more with a two-out single. Zimmermann lasted only any inning longer, and Craig tagged him for a solo homer before his exit. Garcia出球場後，Lance Lynn 被叫上來接替投球。紅雀打線這時甦醒了，並確保他上來 投球時帶有一些領先。 面對以前打得很順手的Zimmermann，紅雀在第二局從他手中拿下四分。Allen Craig跟 Yadier Molina的安打帶動了這局的反攻。接著，Freese打出了追平的二壘安打，然後 Descalso再補上帶有一分打點的一壘安打。 Skip Schumaker隨後用一個成功的犧牲短打再次擴大領先優勢，接著Jon Jay再用一隻兩 出局後的安打拿下第四分。Zimmerman之後投球順利度過，直到第四局Craig用一支陽春砲 把她打下去。 "They have a great lineup. It's tough," Zimmermann said. "You get a few guys out, then you look up and you've got [Carlos] Beltran coming up, Freese. It just never stops. Their lineup, you just have to make your pitches, and I wasn't able to do that tonight." "That's some of the youth in the pitching staff," added Nats manager Davey Johnson. "He didn't really make a lot of adjustments out there." Zimmermann 表示："他們有著很棒的打線，投起來很棘手。儘管製造了幾個出局數，但 你會發現你得面對接下來的Beltran還有Freese，這種感覺停不下來。面對這種打線， 你必須要投得很棒才行。但我今天晚上做得並不好。" 國民教練Davey Johnson說："那是年輕投手有時會出現的狀況。他(指Zimmermann)今天 比賽時沒做到大量的調適。" The three-inning outing was the shortest of Zimmermann's 83-start career. He'd gladly not face the Cardinals again for a while, either. In six career outings against St. Louis, Zimmermann has allowed at least five runs in five of them. "He's a good pitcher, but anything can happen in this game in these short series," Beltran said. "We felt that we were able to get to him early. He was flipping fastballs early in the count, and we were swinging the bats and finding holes." 只撐了三局，這是Zimmermann生涯83場先發以來最短的一次。他應該會對於近期不用再碰 上紅雀感到高興。生涯面對紅雀六次，其中五次讓紅雀拿了至少五分。 Beltran表示："他是一個好投手，但短期比賽裡什麼都有可能發生。我們感覺我們可以在 前幾個球就攻擊。他很喜歡在前幾球投好球，我們也揮擊了這些，打出去的球也打穿了他 們的防線。" Craig's homer was the first of four blasts the Cards used to pad their lead. Descalso, who hit only four regular-season home runs, connected for solo one off reliever Craig Stammen in the fourth. Beltran then tattooed a Mike Gonzalez changeup in the sixth to extend the Cardinals' lead to 8-3. Two innings later, he belted a two-run homer to give him his second multihomer performance in an NLDS game. Beltran also accomplished the feat in 2004, when he was with Houston. Craig的打出了紅雀全隊四發全壘打的第一轟。Descalso，他這季也才打了四發全壘打， 也在這局從國民牛棚Craig Stammen手中敲下另一發陽春彈。\^0^/ 六局時，Beltran相中Mike Gonzalez一顆變速球，把它扛出牆外並擴到領先到8-3。兩局 之後，他又補上一支兩分砲。這也是他生涯第二次在NLDS擊出複數全壘打。上次他達到這 種表現，是在2004年那年，那時他還在太空人隊。 An offense that tallied only nine hits in its first two postseason games had that total matched by the end of seven innings on Monday. St. Louis finished with 13. "We know this offense has the potential to do this," Matheny said. "It was nice to see this, and hopefully it becomes contagious and the guys just keep going." 紅雀在今年前兩場季後賽，總共也才打出九支安打。但今天，紅雀打完第七局時就已經達 到這個數量了，終場以13支坐收。 Matheny說："我們都知道我們的進攻是有潛力做到如此的。今天能看到這種表現真是太好 了，希望這能激勵我們接下來的比賽、讓球員持續有好表現。" As the offense clicked, Lynn cruised. Asked to carry the games through the middle innings, Lynn -- moved to the bullpen only because of Chris Carpenter's recent return to the rotation -- gave the Cards three innings in relief. He was stung only by back-to-back solo homers in the fifth. "Lance stepped up in big fashion and was able to really take advantage of the opportunity," Matheny said. "We needed him badly." The right-hander struck out five in an outing that could be his last one in relief for a while. Should the Cardinals advance and Garcia remain sidelined, Lynn, an 18-game winner during the regular season, would likely slide back into the rotation. "[I] did everything I could to get as many innings as possible," Lynn said. "It worked out well for us." 攻擊發揮的同時，Lynn也投得很穩。Lynn在季後賽時，由於Chris Carpenter回歸先發輪 值而被調去牛棚。這場他被授予了要吃下中間的局數，給紅雀帶來了三局不錯的投球。只 在第五局時被back-to-back敲了兩支陽春砲。 Matheny："Lance(講Lynn) 他頂住了大局，而且把握了這次機會。我們真的很需要他。" 這名右投今天投了五次三振，之後應該會獲得一段休息的時間。如果紅雀未來順利晉級， 而Garcia仍然不能上場的話，例行賽拿下18勝的Lynn，有機會重返先發輪值。 Lynn自己表示："我盡我所能第去吃下比賽的局數，最後也帶給我們好的結果。" Joe Kelly covered the sixth with assistance from Jay, who made a tremendous running catch to save a leadoff extra-base hit by Danny Espinosa. Best catch of the year, Jay labeled it afterward. Jay also finished with a three-RBI performance at the plate. He drove in two of those runs with two outs. Edward Mujica, Mitchell Boggs and Trevor Rosenthal took care of the final three innings for St. Louis, allowing closer Jason Motte to get a night off. Joe Kelly也解決了第六局，拜Jay那個精彩的nice play接殺了Espinosa那顆可能會形成 長打的球。Jay之後也說他覺得這是他的Best catch of the year。 Jay 今天在打擊上也繳出三分打點的好表現，其中有兩分是在兩出局後打回來的。 Edwar Mujica, Mitchell Boggs 跟 Trevor Rosenthal 守住了紅雀最後三局，讓紅雀的 救援投手Jason Motte今天晚上不用上班。 With the victory, the Cardinals have ensured themselves of at least two more games. And with Chris Carpenter and Kyle Lohse lined up to start Games 3 and 4, the Cards, despite playing the rest of the series on the road, hardly feel at a disadvantage. "It was big. ... We knew how big this game was for us," Jay said. "That's the type of offense we have. We've seen it all year -- when we are able to [take good at-bats], we are pretty dangerous. It worked out today." 這場勝利之後，紅雀確保他們至少還有兩場比賽的機會。而且，接下來還有Carpenter跟 Kyle Lohse擔任接下來三四戰的先發。儘管接下來是在客場作戰，紅雀似乎看起來沒那麼 劣勢。 Jay說："這場比賽很重要...我們都知道這場對我們多重要。這是我們該有的攻擊火力。 我們今年都見識到了--當我們能夠在打擊上有所表現時，我們可是非常危險的，就像我們 今天所展現的這樣。" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 心得： 外電真的比較拗口，有些地方我在不改變文意上修了點，請大家不吝指教。 然後，這場好不容易開胡了，希望紅雀繼續保持下去!!畢竟從04跟紅雀跟到現在 ，來個二連霸吧! 然後....今年好像我翻外電的隔天就會輸球= =" 沒關係，我相信紅雀季後賽事不同的紅雀的!! \Go Cards/\Go Cards/\Go Cards/\Go Cards/\Go Cards/\Go Cards/\Go Cards/ --
