感覺第一段批得有點狠但是Gator說得好.... YANKS TAKE IT ON CHIEN SHORT OUTING TURNS INTO A WANG NIGHT By GEORGE KING August 9, 2007 -- TORONTO - When Chien-Ming Wang resembles a blend of Kei Igawa and Matt DeSalvo, the Yankees' chances at victory are Kate Moss slim. And when Roy Halladay faces a lineup without Alex Rodriguez and is staked to six-run bulge through three frames, those chances expire early. That's what happened last night at Rogers Centre, where the Blue Jays pummeled Wang and the Yankees, 15-4, in front of 40,811, snapping a five-game Yankees winning streak. "Everything he threw was right over the plate," pitching coach Ron Guidry said of Wang. "You chalk it up to one of those days. All good pitchers go through them. I don't know if there was anything he could have done differently." In the shortest outing of his career, Wang lasted 2 2/3 innings and surrendered a career-high eight runs. Considering he was 10-1 in his previous 11 decisions and was riding a three-game winning streak, Wang was overdue for a stinker. And considering how well the Yankees have played lately - they are 21-8 since the All Star break counting a suspended-game victory - it wasn't tough to swallow, even if it did sour the positive buzz all over the clubhouse before a huge three-game series against the Indians starting tomorrow night. "You don't like to lose, but with Halladay on the mound you know you have to control it, and we couldn't do that," Joe Torre said. The Yankees started the night a half-game out of the wild-card lead, trailing the Tigers. When the game was over the Yankees were the same distance back, but the Mariners were on top, one percentage point ahead of the Tigers. Staked to a 6-2 lead after three frames, Halladay cruised to his 13th win in 18 decisions. In seven innings he allowed six hits and four runs. The only runs he surrendered came on homers by Robinson Cano and Hideki Matsui. Cano slugged a two-run shot in the third and a solo blast in the seventh, two batters after Matsui opened the inning with a drive to center. Rodriguez wasn't in the starting lineup due to a calf problem, the result of getting hit Tuesday night by Josh Towers, an incident that triggered two bench-clearing situations and led to Roger Clemens' ejection later for retaliating when he drilled Alex Rios. Bobby Abreu was tossed in the fourth by plate umpire Derryl Cousins after a borderline third-strike call. "He didn't like the way I slammed my bat and he threw me out," Abreu said. "I just said something." The Blue Jays assaulted Wang, Jeff Karstens and Ron Villone for 16 hits, nine of them doubles. Vernon Wells went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs. Frank Thomas was 3-for-5 with three RBIs. "My bullpen felt OK, but everything was down the middle," a ticked Wang said. "The ball was too high in the middle." george.king@nypost.com Blue Jays 15 Yankees 4 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.23.211
