HOUSTON (AP) -- More nervous than usual at the start, Roy Oswalt settled
down and outpitched Greg Maddux.
比起平時更緊繃的 Roy Oswalt 最終進入狀況,壓過 Greg Maddux。
Oswalt (10-6) matched a season high with 10 strikeouts, showing no ill
effects from a strained chest muscle that forced him to miss his last
start, and the Houston Astros beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Saturday.
戰績十勝六敗的 Oswalt 追平本季三振紀錄(十次),完全看不出來上一場他才
因為胸部肌肉拉傷而無法出賽,太空人在這個週六以3-1擊敗教士隊。
"I felt my chest in the bullpen and it didn't feel great, but it didn't
feel real painful," Oswalt said. "It started to feel better and better
as the game went on and as long as I have good mechanics, it doesn't
really bother me."
Oswalt 說:「賽前我自己評估了一下,我並沒有很健康,但是我也沒有感受到
真正的疼痛。當比賽不斷進行,感覺就越來越順,只要我整個動作很好,這點
小事沒有真正造成我的困擾。」
Carlos Lee homered for the third time in four games as Oswalt beat the
Padres for the third straight time and the seventh time in his last
eight meetings.
Caslos Lee 四場比賽內第三度擊出全壘打,Oswalt 連續三度擊敗教士隊,也
是他過去八場對上教士隊中的第七勝。
With his 108th career win, Oswalt passed J.R. Richard and moved into
fourth place on the franchise win list. He's two wins away from tying
Mike Scott for third place.
隨著生涯第108勝的進帳,Oswalt 超越 J. R. Richard 成為隊史勝場數第四
多投手,只差兩勝就可以往前推進超越 Mike Scott。
"I was maybe a little nervous in the first," Oswalt said. "But maybe
after I was out there and got a few outs, I got more and more comfortable
as the game went on."
Oswalt 說:「一開始我也許有點緊繃吧。但是,就在我踏上球場,開始投球之後,
我就越來越進入狀況了。」
Brad Lidge pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his sixth save of the
season. Lidge has picked up all six saves in consecutive appearances
since July 17. He hasn't allowed a run in 20 of his last 21 appearances.
Brad Lidge 繳出無失分的九局表現,拿下本季第六個救援點。自從七月十七號
開始連續出賽以來,Lidge 拿下了所有六次救援點。過去二十一場出賽以來他
有二十次沒有讓對手攻下任何分數。
Maddux (7-8) allowed only two hits after a rocky start, but stretched
his winless streak to six starts. The four-time Cy Young winner hasn't
won since June 27, in San Francisco.
七勝八負的 Maddux 在賽初的亂流後只被擊出兩支安打,但是,連不勝紀錄繼續
延伸到第六場。這位四度賽揚獎得主自從六月二十七號以來就不曾拿下勝投了。
The 41-year-old Maddux has been around long enough to know how to deal
with slumps.
四十一歲的 Maddux 歷練之多,面對亂流對他來說不成問題。
"I never worry about that," he said. "I just try to make sure I'm out
there every fifth day and try to be mentally prepared and ready. I just
do what I think I can do to have the best chance at success."
他說:「我從來不為這個擔心。我只是試著確定我每五天都會出賽,然後讓自己
的心情準備好。我只是以我認為最有機會勝出的投球內容去面對比賽。」
Neither ace looked sharp in the first inning.
這兩位王牌投手在首局都不那麼威。
Brian Giles reached on an error leading off the game, then scored after
consecutive one-out singles by Milton Bradley and Adrian Gonzalez. Oswalt
struck out Michael Barrett, then plunked Kevin Kouzmanoff on the right
wrist to load the bases. Geoff Blum grounded out to end the inning.
Brian Giles 一開賽就靠著失誤上壘,還在接下來的比賽中靠著 Milton Bradley
與 Adrian Gonzalez 在一人出局情況下擊出的連續一壘安打得分。Oswalt 三振了
Michael Barrett 卻又以觸身球擊中 Kevin Kouzmanoff 把壘包擠滿。Geoff Blum
以一個滾地球出局結束了該個半局。
The Padres only mustered one hit the rest of the way. They were held
to four hits or less for the 14th time this season.
教士隊在這個半局之後,僅僅再出現一支安打。是本季第十四次被對方投手壓制
到只有四支或是更少安打數的比賽。
"Here again, our situational hitting was not where it needs to be,"
said Padres manager Bud Black.
教士隊教練 Bud Black 說:「又一次,我們的打線沒有在該發揮的時候發揮。」
Maddux walked backup shortstop Eric Bruntlett and Bruntlett stole
second, just his third steal of the season. That paid off when Lance
Berkman lined an RBI single to right.
Maddux 保送了替補上場的游擊手 Eric Bruntlett,而 Bruntlett 竟然成功
盜上二壘,這僅僅是他本季第三次成功盜壘。而這次盜壘最後在 Berkman 右
邊方向的安打助陣下,成功轉成分數。
Lee then hammered an 0-1 pitch off the left-field foul pole to make
it 3-1. Lee's 23rd homer of the season gave him 86 RBIs, giving him
the NL lead over Ryan Howard.
Lee 接著在沒有好球一個壞球的情況下,轟出擊中左外野邊柱的全壘打將比
分拉大至3-1。Lee 本季第23號全壘打讓他拿下第86個 RBIs 也讓他
超越 Ryan Howard 成為國家聯盟領先者。
"We got to Maddux early and he is one of those pitchers that if you
are going to get to him, you need to get to him early," said Houston
manager Phil Garner.
太空人教練 Phil Garner 說:「我們早早對 Maddux 發動突襲,他是那種一開
始沒有衝垮他,之後就沒什麼機會的投手。」
Maddux escaped more first-inning trouble when Mike Cameron made a
leaping catch against the fence in right center to rob Mike Lamb of
an extra-base hit. Jason Lane flew out to the warning track in right
to end the inning.
靠著 Mike Cameron 在牆邊的撲接 Maddux 得以逃過這充滿長打的首局,這球
原本看來是個深遠安打的球是由 Mike Lamb 擊出。Jason Lane 擊出高飛球在
右外野牆邊被接殺,首局結束。
"There were some great plays defensively that kept the game in hand,"
Maddux said.
Maddux 說:「有幾個防守美技讓我們沒有失去勝算。」
The pitching duel took shape after that -- Maddux and Oswalt allowed
only one hit apiece over the next four innings. Oswalt struck out Maddux
and Cameron in the top of the fifth; Maddux retired the Astros in order
in the bottom half of the inning, all on ground outs.
而投手戰就此確立,Maddux 與 Oswalt 在接下來的四局中,各只被擊出一支安打
第五局上,Oswalt 三振了 Maddux 與 Cameron,Maddux 則在五局下送給太空人
三上三下精品一組,通通是滾地球出局。
"I just kept throwing, man," Maddux said. "Things aren't going the way
you want them to go, all you've got to do is keep playing. I was just
trying to do what I thought was right."
Maddux 說:「我只是投下去。沒有事事如意的,你要做的就是繼續投下去,
我只是做我認為是對的事。」
Bradley walked leading off the Padres' sixth, snapping a streak of
seven in a row retired by Oswalt. The Padres went down in order after
that. Luke Scott singled with two outs in the sixth, his third hit
of the game off Maddux. Lane flew out to end the inning.
第六局教士隊 Bradley 一上場就被保送,中斷了 Oswalt 連續七人出局好
投。但是教士隊打者之後又是連續被請下場。Luke Scott 在兩出局後擊出
安打,這是本場比賽他面對 Maddux 擊出的第三支安打。Lane 擊出高飛球
結束該局。
Oswalt started the seventh by striking out Blum and Marcus Giles to
match his season high. Scott Hairston pinch-hit for Maddux and popped
out. Maddux allowed five hits and two walks without a strikeout in
75 pitches.
第七局我們看到 Oswalt 連續三振 Blum 與 Marcus Giles,平本季三振紀錄
。代替 Maddux 上場打擊的 Scott Hairston 被接殺。投球數75球的 Maddux
被擊出五支安打,兩次保送,沒有任何三振。
Doug Brocail relieved Maddux and retired his former team in order
in the seventh. Chad Qualls followed Oswalt and pitched a perfect
eighth. Oswalt threw 106 pitches, allowing three hits and a walk.
Doug Brocail 接替 Maddux 上場,面對老東家就是一組三上三下見面禮。
Chad Qualls 接替 Oswalt 投出完美的第八局。Oswalt用了一百零六球,
被擊出三支安打,一次保送。
