高速翻~ Kennedy stars, but Yanks' streak ends By Bryan Hoch TORONTO -- At this stage of Ian Kennedy's young career, every start is an opportunity to try out new approaches, test his limits and see what outcomes he might have to deal with. 今日劇場：阿甘"正"傳 No one was expecting Kennedy to throw seven innings of one-hit ball. Once he did, few would have predicted it would end up in a Yankees loss. 孰知煮熟鴨子一樣插了翅膀飛走 (拍~拍~) Frank Thomas' ninth-inning single off reliever Chris Britton scored Alex Rios with the winning run as the Blue Jays defeated the Yankees on Thursday, 2-1, snapping New York's seven-game winning streak and spoiling Kennedy's terrific third Major League start. 二度"重傷害" 讓不理登砸了鍋 "The third game felt a lot more like I was pitching anywhere else, like anywhere in the Minor Leagues," Kennedy said. "With one run, you're not going to win too many ballgames, scoring one run." 阿甘遙想往日小檸檬舊時光 As sharp as Kennedy was, Toronto starter A.J. Burnett brought a performance to match, scattering four hits over eight innings, striking out eight. He made just one glaring mistake: Johnny Damon tied the game in the sixth inning with his 11th home run, a soaring shot that landed in the second deck of seats in right field, beneath the restaurant windows. 藍鳥A.J.B跟阿甘一樣威 不過大門更秋 "I was just fortunate to be able to tie up the game," Damon said. "The guy is one of the best pitchers around. We had some chances. ... It seems like every time he pitches, he's pretty good. Tonight, he was spotting his fastball inside, up and down. His curveball is one of the best, also." 討了便宜賣起乖 說你可愛就傻笑之大門說： 有啦...有啦...其實他直球跑進來也是跑上跑下滴...滑球也是滑Q的很..... After Luis Vizcaino recorded three outs in relief of Kennedy's seven-plus-inning gem, and Melky Cabrera grounded out with two aboard to end the top of the ninth inning, the Yankees turned to the right-hander Britton for the bottom half. 精品再現 尊爵不凡 Most of Britton's action has come with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, but the Yankees were unable to use Kyle Farnsworth due to a neck injury. Vizcaino had not pitched recently due to various injuries, and Joba Chamberlain was unavailable after throwing 35 pitches in Wednesday's victory. 阿火傷了 精品最近剛修復 喬巴法則運作中 故諸君今日就看到不理登上來投 Had the Yankees taken the lead in the ninth inning, manager Joe Torre said he would have gone to closer Mariano Rivera, but instead he chose Britton over September callup Jose Veras because of the former's strike-throwing ability. 魔人替自己搬台階 Unfortunately for Britton, two of his strikes caught too much of the plate. Rios started the inning with a sharp single and stole second before Thomas ripped a bouncing ball up the middle, scoring Rios ahead of Cabrera's throw on a slide into the plate. 嗚呼哀哉 不理登兩次都被抓到 "It's very disappointing," Britton said. "Nobody wants to lose." 不理登："武告雖".... The tough defeat stained Kennedy's impressive performance, though only in finality. For the first seven innings, Kennedy shone, showing Toronto the full arsenal of talent that prompted the Yankees to make him a first-round selection in 2006 from the University of Southern California. 阿甘在鳥群面前展示：瞎咪叫作 "真男人" "They're a good fastball-hitting team, so I tried to throw a lot of changeups and curveballs," Kennedy said. "Mix it up. That's what I've got to do. I don't throw 97 [mph], like Burnett." 接著說：鳥兒很會打快速球 所以我都馬用一堆變速球跟曲球來釣小鳥 After the Thomas double, Kennedy retired 15 batters in a row before issuing a two-out walk to Adams in the sixth, then continued to blank the Jays before leaving with one runner on in the eighth. 重傷害尻一支二安之後 阿甘連續解決15隻 離開投手丘之前 只留一隻鳥在喘 "He seemed pretty poised," Thomas said. "He wasn't afraid of the strike zone like most young guys. He didn't seem intimidated at all. He pitched his game, hit his spots in and out. He kept the guys off balance, and that's big league pitching." 重傷害說："金奇怪捏 他看起來攏不驚 就...丟他的球" "I looked at the replay, and you could see the wall was right there as the ball was getting there," Torre said. "I'm sure he probably could have caught it, but I'm not saying he should have." 魔人說：咦?! 牛奶弟好像是可以接到這球的說 不過我沒說他一定要接到啦..(裝好人ing) Yet the Yankees could not get anything going. Derek Jeter followed the Damon sixth-inning home run with a single and Bobby Abreu walked, but Hideki Matsui lined out to first baseman Lyle Overbay, ending the threat. 大門之後 隊長 阿布 馬祖通通無功而返 In the end, though, the lack of run support couldn't be blamed on Kennedy, who continues to exceed all expectations after a quick rise this season all the way from Class A Tampa. Kennedy's performance will create a pleasant but difficult set of problems for Torre and pitching coach Ron Guidry, who plan to meet in Boston to discuss -- among other options -- the concept of utilizing a six-man pitching staff that includes Kennedy. 阿甘威起來 魔人跟古椎卻苦惱 先發第六人 (放?不放?) With just 16 games remaining before the completion of the regular season, innings could grow tight, especially with Roger Clemens insisting that his right elbow is ready for duty and Mike Mussina all but begging for another chance to prove his revival. 火箭說："來吧我準備好了" 穆帥曰："教練我只想投場好球" Kennedy said he won't concern himself with such issues, preferring to leave any pondering over the difficult decisions to the Yankee brain trust. 阿甘場面話初登版："我沒要緊啦 不計不較...." "If I keep doing well, they hopefully will find a way to put me out there," he said. "I can't really think about that." "就...把球投好咩"..... "應該很快就可以進去跟他們一起玩了吧" (灑花轉圈~) http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=nyy 洋基官網 --
