The Yankees will turn to rookie right-hander Ian Kennedy as they search for a three-game sweep of the Blue Jays and their eighth consecutive win on Thursday night at Rogers Centre. 洋基和藍鳥的第三戰禮拜四晚上於Rogers Centre開打 洋基將派上Kennedy 尋求八連勝 Kennedy has made only two career starts, but he is already proving that he has an impressive amount of poise for a 22-year-old. In his last outing, against the Royals, Kennedy walked the bases loaded in the first inning, but pitched his way out of the frame without allowing a run to score. Kennedy雖然生涯出賽過兩場 但他已證明他讓人有平穩的深刻印象 上次對皇家 沒有讓任何跑者回來得分 Kennedy escaped several more jams throughout the night and finished the outing having allowed two earned runs on seven hits, while striking out two over five innings. Kennedy knows that he'll have to keep getting better, though, if he wants to help the Yankees become the American League Wild Card winner. Kennedy避免了許多重傷害 7打席 2R 2K 他也知道繼續保持下去讓洋基能在外卡求勝 按: jam當名詞時 1.擁擠;堵塞;軋住 2.擁擠的人群;堵塞物 3.【美】【口】困境,窘境 "I was falling too far behind guys," Kennedy said after the start in Kansas City, which resulted in a no-decision. "I was getting in 1-0 counts, 2-0 counts, and that is where guys are going to hurt you. Here, if you make a mistake, it is a double or a home run. I just battled." The Jays will counter with right-hander A.J. Burnett. In his last outing, the 30-year-old fireballer surrendered just one run on three hits in eight innings against the Devil Rays. Burnett has gone 4-1 with a 1.92 ERA in six outings since returning from a right shoulder injury on Aug. 12. 藍鳥會派上右投 A.J.
