MLB News 04/01/2008 9:44 PM ET Yanks prevail in final Cathedral opener Wang solid as farewell tour begins with victory over Jays By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com 主標: 洋基在舊球場的最後一次開幕賽取勝附標: 王穩健的表現取勝藍鳥展開本季告別舊球場之旅 NEW YORK -- Eighty-five years after Babe Ruth christened Yankee Stadium with a home run, the Yankees kick-started the ballpark's glorious sendoff season with the creation of a new set of memories, posting a tight 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays. 85年前貝比魯斯用全壘打為新球場揭幕, 歡送球場的今年洋基3比2拿下開幕戰 With red, white and blue bunting dangling from all decks of the facility once lauded as a towering, triple-tiered wonder of the sporting world, Melky Cabrera homered and made two outstanding catches to earn a curtain call -- the Yankees' first in a season that promises to be rife with celebratory ovations. In the sixth, facing Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay, Cabrera connected with a high, arcing shot toward the right-field corner, well ahead of Alex Rios' leap and destined to hammer off the concrete walkway to tie the game. Cabrera's right arm shot out toward the outfield wall as he raced around the bases, and he was later summoned out of the dugout to again acknowledge the crowd. 讚揚小卡布, 美技加上全壘打, 贏得全場球迷歡呼 Cabrera had a long way to run in the third inning, dashing into the gap in right-center field to flag down Lyle Overbay's deep drive before thudding against the wall with a leap. One batter later, Cabrera was racing toward left-center field, stumbling ever so slightly before grabbing Aaron Hill's low liner, completing his acrobatics with a flourishing head-first skid across the wet outfield turf. 在第三局裡, 小卡布的運動量十足, 連續兩個打者都被他精采的守備給沒收了安打, 一次撞牆一次飛撲 The Yankees took the lead in the seventh off Halladay when, with the bases loaded, Aaron Hill couldn't find a quick handle on Hideki Matsui's hot ground ball to second base. Hill flipped the ball to shortstop David Eckstein's bare hand to record a putout, but Alex Rodriguez crossed the plate with the go-ahead run on the fielder's choice. 第七局哥吉拉松井擊出的滾地球Aaron Hill無法迅速處裡, 滿壘的情況下只能封殺二壘跑者, 形成野選A-Rod回來拿下超前分, 洋基才取得最終的領先 Splintering bats often with his expanding repertoire, sinker-balling starter Chien-Ming Wang limited Toronto to two runs and six hits over seven innings -- a Marco Scutaro run-scoring fielder's choice in the second and Shannon Stewart's RBI groundout -- before yielding to phenom Joba Chamberlain for the eighth inning. Chamberlain allowed the tying run to get as close as second base before he recorded two strikeouts to end the frame, pumping his fist and screaming as 55,112 did the same. 伸卡王王建民優異的表現讓多倫多攻勢被限制得破碎而零星, 七局內僅擊出六支安打得到兩分 -- 反正很不營養就對了張博倫有驚無險的負責第八局, 用三振結束時機動的狂吼 Thirty years after the Yankees' memorable 1978 World Championship, the club's most prolific player of that era buzzed a strike across home plate to begin the sendoff -- and who better than Reggie Jackson, a man whose homer on Opening Day '78 prompted fans to shower the playing field with chocolate bars bearing his name. There was sweetness for Rodriguez as well. In his first at-bat since signing a landmark contract that will keep him in New York for the next decade, the reigning American League MVP picked up right where he left off in 2007 by ripping a two-out double up the gap in right-center field, scoring Bobby Abreu. The game was originally scheduled to be played as an Opening Day, and there had never been a game played in the building's confines during the month of March; Mother Nature's heavy rains on Monday saw that tradition, so prominent in the facility's history, would be upheld. The Yankees and Blue Jays played instead under the lights on Tuesday, an opening act to remember upon baseball's grandest stage. Yankee Stadium originally opened on April 18, 1923, as Ruth clubbed a home run to defeat the rival Red Sox, 4-1, earning the facility the nickname "The House that Ruth Built." The stadium underwent dramatic reconstruction after the 1973 season and reopened on April 15, 1976, as the current facility, with the Yankees defeating the Twins, 11-4. 以上歷史課 Since its opening, the Yankees have won 29 of their 39 season openers at Yankee Stadium, including 11 straight home openers since the 1998 campaign. 舊球場過去39次開幕戰, 其中29場拿下勝利, 包括自1998以來的開幕戰11連勝 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.112.136.197
