KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez and Jorge De La Rosa have been here before, facing each other at a milestone moment. Alex Rodriguez 和 Jorge De La Rosa 曾經進行過對決。 A little over two years ago, De La Rosa gave up Rodriguez's 400th career home run. Guess who'll be on the mound for Kansas City on Thursday night, when A-Rod tries to become the youngest member of the 500-homer club? 差不多在兩年前，De La Rosa 被 Rodriguez 打出了生涯 400 轟。猜猜看，誰會被 A-Rod 打出史上最年輕的 500 轟? "It's a crazy thing," Rodriguez said after hitting No. 499 off Gil Meche in the eighth inning of Wednesday night's 7-1 victory over the Royals. "It's pretty unbelievable that it could actually work out that way." "這很瘋狂。" A-Rod 在打完 499 轟之後說，那是一支兩分砲，並且讓洋基取得了 7 比 1 的勝利。 "有點不可置信。" De La Rosa was pitching for Milwaukee on June 8, 2005, when Rodriguez became the first player with 400 homers before his 30th birthday. He had little to say Wednesday night about the prospect of facing Rodriguez with No. 500 possible. De La Rosa 在 2005 年的 6 月 8 號，讓 A-Rod 打出了生涯 400 轟，並且他也相當有可能是 A-Rod 第 500 轟的犧牲者。 "I'm going to pitch him very carefully," De La Rosa said. "我一定會很謹慎投的。" 這名受害者說。 Melky Cabrera and Hideki Matsui also went deep to help extend the Yankees' winning streak to six and bring them as close to the Boston Red Sox as they've been in 2 1/2 months. Cabrera 和松井也表現的很好，縮短了洋基與紅襪的差距。 Rodriguez had a chance to reach 500 in the ninth inning, but as flashbulbs p opped he struck out against former teammate Octavio Dotel. A-rod 本來有機會打出 500 轟的，但是他卻被三振了。 "I think for the most part, he would like to get it over with, and I know we would like to get it over with," manager Joe Torre said. "But you're seeing something special." "我想，很多時候，A-rod 都會表現的很好，" Joe Torre 說，"今天你只是在第九局，看到他比較不一樣的表現而已。" A-Rod, who turns 32 Friday, would surpass Jimmie Foxx (32 years, 338 days) as the youngest player to reach 500 homers. Rodriguez would be the 22nd to reach the mark and the second this season behind Frank Thomas. A-Rod，禮拜五就要度過他的 32 歲生日，相當有機會成為史上最年輕 500 轟的打者，他現在在全壘打史上排名第 22，並且只以些微落後給 Frank Thomas。 "We're just looking for wins every day," Rodriguez said. "It's hard for me to think about this when every game is so important for us. I don't do a good job of celebrating or savoring anything." "我們只是想要勝利而已，" A-rod 說。 "沒想到每場比賽對我們來說，都是這麼重要，我不會慶祝或是對於這個紀錄有什麼想法。" Besides, he said, he never expected to be a slugger when he came into the majors in 1994. 此外，A-rod 也說，他自從開啟了職棒生涯之後，沒有想說要締造什麼樣的紀錄。 "I was a shortstop," he said. "So I figured if I hit a hundred home runs and got a few thousand hits, that'd be pretty phenomenal. I came from a pretty humble background in Miami and I never thought I'd come this far." "我曾經是個游擊手，所以了解，如果我打 100 支全壘打，或是 1000支安打，那會是相當好的一件事情，我來自一個樸實的邁阿密小鎮，而且，我從來沒想過，我會有今天。" But now, Rodriguez is going for his 500th -- at the same time that San Francisco's Barry Bonds nears Hank Aaron's career record of 755. 但現在，A-rod 的確是在創造屬於自己的紀錄，生涯最年輕 500 轟---同時，邦茲也在尋求他的生涯755轟。 "He's under a little more pressure than I am," Rodriguez said. "He's got all kinds of people watching him. I'm kind of stealthier, doing my thing. And I think it's kind of different, because we're in the middle of a pennant race." "Bonds 現在的壓力肯定比我大，現在全世界的眼睛都在盯著他，而我則是偷偷的在進行，你知道的，只是專心做我的事情而已。我想，我們還是有些差別，因為我們都是為了自己的紀錄而奮鬥。" A-rod 說。(最後翻的怪怪的，不知道有沒有錯) If Rodriguez can stay healthy, Torre said, someday he'll be in a position to surpass Bonds. "如果 A-rod 繼續保持健康，他將會超越 Bonds。" Torre說 "We see him every day and we watch what he does, and you knock on wood that he stays healthy," Torre said. "That's the key. That's the luck part of this game." "我們每天看著他，也看著他在做什麼，然後你希望他可以常保健康。" Torre 說。 "那就是關鍵，這就是比賽幸運的地方。" With its 11th win in 13 games, New York closed within 6 1/2 games of the AL East-leading Red Sox. The Yankees, who trailed by 14 1/2 games in late May, had not been this close since they were six back of Boston before play on May 10. 洋基與紅襪的場差拉近。(沒有 A-rod，我只把大意翻出來。) "We like what we're doing," Torre said. "There's obviously a lot of baseball left, and the important part from here on out is to make sure the good streaks outnumber the bad ones, to minimize the damage and try to maximize what we're doing now." "現在開始就是我們進軍季後賽，最重要的時刻。" Torre 說。 New York (54-46), a season-high eight games above .500, got 13 hits for the third straight night and stayed 4 1/2 games behind Cleveland, the AL wild-card leader. 洋基戰績越來越好囉。跟外卡也拉近了。 Mike Mussina (5-7) allowed one run and six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He had been 0-2 in three starts since beating Oakland on June 29. Mussina 總算奪得了近一個月的第一勝。 Meche (7-7) gave up five runs and nine hits in 7 1/3 innings, ending a hot streak that saw him go 4-0 in seven starts following a 4-0 loss to Philadelphia on June 9. 近況不錯的 Meche ，則是吞下了敗投。 After scoring 63 runs in their five previous games -- their best five-game output since 1931 -- the Yankees managed just two runs in the first six innings. 洋基最近打擊大爆發!! Cabrera, who had three RBIs, put the Yankees ahead with a two-run homer in the second. After Reggie Sanders chased Mussina with an RBI single in the sixth, Cabrera's sacrifice fly made it 3-1 in the seventh. Cabrera今天的表現也是可圈可點。 Rodriguez's major league-leading 35th homer, a two-run drive that finished Meche, boosted the margin to 5-1. Matsui greeted Jimmy Gobble with his 18th homer, his 10th of July. Andy Phillips added an RBI double. A-rod 打出了領先全聯盟的第35轟，也把皇家先發打下場。酷斯拉也順手打了支全壘打，記在 Jimmy Gobble 身上。 Phillips也錦上添花的補了支帶有一分打點的二壘安打。 Yankees captain Derek Jeter was hit in the upper left arm by Dotel's pitch in the ninth inning and was lifted for a pinch runner as a precaution. Jeter figured he'd play Thursday. Jeter被觸身球 K 到，預計禮拜四會上場。 --- 原文出處http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=270725107 這篇比較長，後面比較沒關 A-rod的，我就濃縮了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.54.198
