http://0rz.tw/b944o Kennedy can't command in comeback Righty allows five runs after being recalled from Triple-A By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com Kennedy重整旗鼓依然無法掌控全場 - 從3A回來後失五分 ST. PETERSBURG -- When the Yankees' road trip opened a city ago, Ian Kennedy couldn't help but glance at the scoreboard in whatever Triple-A park he was working, looking toward the day he could help the big league club again. Kennedy must wait at least another turn for that, and the Yankees' patience will be tested as well. Kennedy was hit for five runs in five innings on Thursday as New York dropped the series finale to the Rays, 5-2, at Tropicana Field. 當洋基開始客場之旅，在3A的Kennedy忍不住偷瞄球場記分板，期待某天能再度替洋基 幫上忙。Kennedy必須等待至少另一輪，這也將測試洋基的耐心。周四在光芒隊主場， Kennedy在五局內失五分，洋基以5:2輸了系列賽最後一場。 Freshly promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the right-hander ran into trouble immediately, as Akinori Iwamura led off with a home run. It didn't get a whole lot better from there, as Shawn Riggans also clubbed a two-run homer to send the reeling Yankees into last place in the American League East. 才剛從3A回來，這個右投手立刻陷入麻煩，一上場就被第一棒的岩村明憲敲出一發 全壘打。之後事情並沒有改善，當Riggans敲了一發兩分全壘打，這讓洋基掉到美聯 東區最後一名。 "Obviously, this is not the Ian Kennedy that we all saw last year," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "We need to find a way to get him back there." 「很明顯，這不是去年的Kennedy。」教練Girardi說，「我們得想辦法讓他回復到 過去的樣子。」 A first-round selection in the 2006 Draft, Kennedy made a meteoric rise to the big leagues last season, jumping all the way from Class A ball to make three strong September starts, including a victory. 在2006年的選秀裡，Kennedy在第一輪就被挑走。去年他以流星般的速度竄升到大聯盟， 從1A直升並在九月交出三場強力先發，其中包含一勝。 In nine professional starts this year, though, Kennedy has logged just one win -- a May 6 start at Triple-A Charlotte. He has suffered three defeats, all of which have come for the 20-22 Yankees. 然而，在今年的九場先發裡，Kennedy只取得一勝─5/6在3A那場。他交出三場先發敗， 這讓洋基目前戰績為20勝22敗。 "I felt like I was ready," Kennedy said. "I threw that one start [at Charlotte] and I just felt like I had the right mindset. Tonight didn't show it, but I felt like I was mentally a lot different, where I was still attacking guys." 「我以為自己準備好了。」Kennedy說，「我在3A投了一場，我以為自己已經具備正確的 心態。而今晚，它卻沒有表現出來。那時我以為我在心理上已經大大不同了，我仍 繼續攻擊打者。」 Given the rough 78-pitch outing, the Yankees were left to try to find signs of positive progress from Kennedy, who figures to be given additional chances after Kei Igawa flopped in a three-inning start last weekend and was finally demoted Thursday. 在78個投球數中，洋基試著找出Kennedy進步的正面訊息。在井川慶上周投三局被轟下場 後，Kennedy得到額外的表現機會，而井川慶終於在周四被下放了。 Kennedy allowed a run in the third inning on a bases-loaded, no-outs sacrifice fly to Carl Crawford, and said that would have been one of the situations where he would have probably given up at least two or three runs last month. Instead, Kennedy settled down after the long fly ball and got a groundout and strikeout to escape. Kennedy在第三局滿壘無人出局，Crawford高飛犧牲打替光芒得到一分。 如果在上個月，相同的情況可能會失至少兩到三分。但Kennedy安定下來，以一個長遠 高飛球、滾地出局，加上三振逃脫困境。 "I think I belong here and I want to work out my problems here," Kennedy said. "I understand it's a business and you want to win. You get sent down and you work out things down there, and you come right back and you still aren't the same. It's frustrating sometimes." 「我想我是屬於這裡的，我想在這解決我的問題。」Kennedy說，「我了解這是職業 球賽，人人都想要贏。你被下放、解決問題，然後你回來，仍然不是原本的你。 有時這真的令人感到挫折。」 The Yankees would like to see more variety from Kennedy, who got through five subpar innings with basically just two effective pitches -- his fastball and changeup. Tampa Bay took a 4-0 lead in the fourth on Riggans' third home run, a two-run shot to left. 洋基想看Kennedy跟下放前有更多的不同。這五局，他有效的球種基本上只有兩個─ 快速球和變速球。第四局光芒隊Riggans擊出個人第三隻全壘打，兩分進帳，取得 4:0領先。 Kennedy also allowed a B.J. Upton sacrifice fly in the fifth before exiting, and when informed of Girardi's analysis that he wasn't the Kennedy of '07, the rookie said he doesn't feel as far off as some might think. 在第五局下場前，Kennedy也被Upton擊出犧牲打。當他被告知Girardi認為「這不是07年的 Kennedy」，菜鳥說，他不覺得差距有某些人想的那麼大。 "I think mentally I'm going after guys," Kennedy said. "Tonight I only had one walk and that was after battling 3-2. That was the main thing I was having trouble with, and I think I'm going in the right direction." 「我想，在心理上我正追趕其他人了。」Kennedy說，「今晚我只有一個保送，而且那是 在滿球數後拿到的。那是我當時的麻煩，我想我正走在對的方向。」 The same cannot be said for the Yankees offense, which managed just two runs off of Rays starting pitching in the entire series, and none on Thursday facing Scott Kazmir. The Yankees have lost six of nine. 但是洋基的攻擊就不是這樣了，在整個系列賽中，洋基對先發投手最多只拿到兩分， 而且面對Kazmir一分未得。最近九場比賽洋基輸了六場。 "You expect to score a lot of runs with this offense, and it has not happened on a consistent basis," Girardi said. "We need to figure it out, all of us -- coaches, me, players, everyone -- how you turn it around." 「有這樣的進攻能力，你期待可以拿下許多分數─這沒有發生，攻擊不連貫。」Girardi 說，「我們需要想想如何扭轉，每個人都要─教練們、我、球員，每個人。」 One day after the Rays announced a three-year, $28.5 million contract extension for Kazmir, the left-hander was splendid in shutting the Yankees out through six innings. Kazmir took a no-hitter into the fourth inning and scattered three hits overall -- all singles -- walking three and striking out three. 在光芒隊宣布與Kazmir以三年$28.5 million續約，這位左投用六局讓洋基靜悄悄， 直到第四局都還是無安打狀態。他總共被擊出三支安打─全都是一壘安，保送三人、 三振三人。 "You look at a guy like Kazmir today, and he threw 50 fastballs in a row," Girardi said. "We get one hit. That's not good. We're a better hitting club than this. They threw the ball well and did the things well that have to be done to win three out of four. We did not." 「看看今天的Kazmir，他連續丟了50個快速球。」Girardi說，「我們只擊出一隻， 這不好，我們事實上能表現得更好。他們把球投好、把事情做好，四場贏了三場。但我們 沒有。」 The Yankees broke through with two runs in the seventh, facing reliever Gary Glover. Robinson Cano opened the inning with a single and moved up on a Jose Molina hit before Melky Cabrera drilled a run-scoring single to center. 在第七局洋基打破困境，面對Glover拿到兩分。Cano一開始擊出一壘安打，並用Molina的 打擊推進，然後Cabrera敲了一支穿過內野的一壘安打，得分。 Derek Jeter followed with another hit up the middle to bring home New York's second run, but the Yankees went quietly in the eighth against Dan Wheeler and Troy Percival -- who blew a save on Tuesday vs. New York -- came back to strike out two in the ninth as he recorded his 10th save in 12 chances. Jeter接著另一支安打，把洋基第二名跑者送回本壘，但第八局洋基面對Wheeler和 Percival時靜悄悄─後者在周二搞砸了救援，今晚在九局上用兩個三振達到本季個人 第10次救援成功。 "We had some good at-bats this series, but unfortunately that doesn't really matter," said Johnny Damon, who went 0-for-5 Thursday and is hitless in his last 13 at-bats. 「這個系列我們有些好的打數，不幸地這起不了作用。」Damon說，他這場是五打數 零安打，最近13打數沒安打。 "There's not much luck going on right now. We've got to keep battling. These guys in here, we're all tough." 「現在沒有許多好運，我們得繼續奮戰。在這裡的傢伙們，我們都很不屈不撓。」 --
