Pujols' blast lifts Cards over Cubs Tenth-inning homer plates three to secure seesaw victory By Matthew Leach / MLB.com Pujols猛烈的一擊使紅雀擊敗小熊 CHICAGO -- Always and again on Sunday, Albert Pujols is the hero for the Cardinals. CHICAGO -- 又是星期日，再一次地，Pujols成為紅雀的英雄。 Pujols' three-run homer in the top of the 10th inning finally cemented a 12-9 Cards win over the Cubs at windy Wrigley Field. It's the third straight Sunday that Pujols has gone deep, and four of his five home runs on the young season have come on Sundays. Pujols在10局上的3分全壘打鞏固了紅雀的勝利，最終以12比9在windy Wrigley Field氣走小熊。這是連三次Pujols在星期日爆走，也是本季的五支全壘打中、第四次在星期日擊出。 On this occasion, though, Pujols' was just one voice in the choir of an offense that sang like it hadn't done all year. The Cardinals set new season highs for runs, base hits (17), home runs (four) and extra-base hits (seven). It was the first time this year that St. Louis won a game when its opponent scored more than two runs. Both offenses were aided by a strong wind -- 18 mph at game time -- blowing out towards the outfield. 即使如此，Pujols也只是強大進攻火力的其中一個。紅雀們的得分創下本季新高，17支安打，4支全壘打和7支長打。這是紅雀在本季第一次比對手多得兩分而贏得比賽。所有的進攻還有強風助陣 -- 18 mph的風速吹向外野。 "It's really exciting to see our team swinging the bat well," Pujols said. "We got some key hits with two outs. It was an important game. This game was real good. Hopefully, this is the game that clicks everything, and the middle of the lineup starts producing more." "看到我們打的那麼好真是振奮，"Pujols說。"我們在兩出局時擊出一些關鍵安打。這是一場重要的比賽。這真的很棒。希望這是敲醒一切事情的比賽，也希望打線中段能越打越好。" Joining Pujols in the long-ball brigade were Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds and Chris Duncan. Rolen had five hits, a career best, bringing his batting average up from a grisly .200 to a perfectly respectable .268. 加入 Pujols之長打行列的還有 Rolen、Edmonds和 Duncan。Rolen打了生涯最佳的5支安打，將慘烈的 .200打擊率升到可敬的 .268。 "I feel like all of a sudden I'm having a decent year," Rolen said. "One game, and all of a sudden your year's not so bad anymore." "我突然覺得我有一個不錯的一年，" Rolen說。"只是一場比賽，卻讓你覺得今年再也不那麼糟。" Preston Wilson opened the deciding 10th with a single. After Aaron Miles struck out, David Eckstein lined a single that caromed off third baseman Aramis Ramirez's glove. Pujols throttled an 0-1 offering from Ryan Dempster deep over the right-center field stands and onto Waveland Avenue for the game-winner. Wilson先以一支安打打開第10局。在 Miles被三振之後，Eckstein又補上一支，球撞到三壘手 Ramirez手套反彈而形成安打。Pujols在1好0壞之後，將球打向中間偏右方向，球一路飛到了場外的大街上。 Pujols' homer broke the game's fourth tie and quickly erased the memory of an agonizing ninth for the Redbirds. St. Louis had taken a 9-7 lead in the top of the ninth on a Rolen triple, but the Cubs scratched out two runs against Jason Isringhausen to force extra innings. Tyler Johnson and Russ Springer tag-teamed the 10th to seal the victory. Pujols的全壘打終結了本次比賽的四度平手，也抹除了那令人痛苦的回憶 -- 9局上雖靠著 Rolen的三壘打讓比數以9比7領先，小熊卻又馬上從Isringhausen要回兩分而進入延長賽。 Tyler Johnson 和 Russ Springer在第10局上場聯手鎖住勝利。 Cards-killer Michael Barrett singled off Isringhausen to lead off the bottom of the ninth, but after a lineout and a strikeout, it appeared he might be stranded on base. Alfonso Soriano slapped a pinch-double just inside the third-base line to send Barrett to third base to keep the inning alive, and Mark DeRosa dropped a bloop single between three Cardinals fielders to tie the score. 紅雀殺手 Michael Barrett在九局下一開始就對Isringhausen擊出安打，但隨後的是平飛球出局和一個三振，看起來他很有可能成為一個殘壘。代打 Alfonso Soriano 擊出一支沿著三壘邊線的二壘安打，Barrett上到三壘使得這局得以延續，Mark DeRosa隨後擊出一支德州安打追平比數。 The inning might have been over before that, however. When pinch-hitter Matt Murton lined to short for the first out, Eckstein was screened and didn't throw to first because he couldn't see the base. Barrett had strayed well off the bag, and a good throw likely would have doubled him off. In that case, Ronny Cedeno's strikeout would have ended the game. 但，這局原本可能提早結束的。當 Eckstein接殺了代打 Matt Murton擊出的平飛球，好像突然被鬼擋牆，Eckstein因為看不到壘包而未將球傳向一壘。那時 Barrett還在壘包間閒晃，只要一個好傳球就可以將他雙殺出局。這樣一來，Ronny Cesedo的三振將會讓比賽畫下句點。 Cardinals relievers had pitched beautifully up to that point. Randy Flores retired five batters without allowing a baserunner, and Ryan Franklin pitched a scoreless eighth with one single. 紅雀牛棚的表現出色。Randy Flores讓五人沒有站上壘包，Ryan Franklin在第八局只被擊出一安打，沒有失分。 "Izzy's really upset, but they all were really good," said manager Tony La Russa. "Flores came in there and was wonderful. Franklin. ... Izzy's beating himself up, and he shouldn't. He kept the ball in the park. Not too many pitchers did that today." "Izzy的確是讓人可惜，但他們真的表現得很好。" La Russa說。"Flores表現傑出，至於Franklin...Izzy是被自己擊敗，他不應該如此。他還是將球留在場內，今天並沒有多少投手能做到這樣。 " Rolen poked a two-run triple with no one out in the top of the ninth to give St. Louis a 9-7 lead, but the Cardinals' inability to add any more runs in the inning cost them. Rolen was left stranded at third. Rolen在第9局擊出兩分打點的三壘打，紅雀以9比7領先，但接下來卻沒有再得到任何一分。Rolen就在三壘上飲恨。 Duncan drew a walk against Bob Howry to open the ninth, and Pujols followed with a single up the middle. Rolen went down the right-field line on the first pitch he saw from Howry, breaking the third tie of the game. In addition to the triple and homer, Rolen had three singles -- two of the infield variety. "I felt more comfortable today," Rolen said. "I controlled my at-bats a little bit better today. I did get a chop hit, a ball down to the third, that got my day going." "我今天感到舒服多了，" Rolen說。"我將打擊掌握的更好了。我將球打向三壘，接下來就順了。" 接下來不想翻了，等我翻完已經是舊聞了=.=a In a back-and-forth affair, the Cubs held early leads of 2-0 and 4-2. St. Louis roared back with five runs in the fourth and fifth to take a 7-4 lead, but Ramirez's three-run homer off Adam Wainwright in the sixth tied the game and chased the Cardinals starter. Over his 5 1/3 innings, Wainwright set career highs of both the positive and negative variety. He was touched for seven runs and 12 hits, both new personal worsts, but he also struck out a career-best seven. Wainwright permitted two runs in the first and two more in the third, but appeared to take control in the fourth and fifth. He was touched for two singles to open the fifth, then retired the next three batters in order to protect the Car dinals' first lead of the game. But after a leadoff double in the sixth, he walked Derrek Lee on a very close 3-2 pitch, then served up Ramirez's homer. "They had to pitch in it, too," Wainwright said when offered the excuse of a stiff wind blowing out. "The main thing for me is not giving up seven runs, it's that I had a three-run lead. I feel like I just blew a save, basically. A three-run lead in the sixth inning -- I've got to make them hit the ball on the ground there, and I didn't do it." Still, seven runs in 5 1/3 was not much worse than par for the course. Wainwright left the game with the score tied -- and knowing his team had Pujols and Rolen. In a game that felt like a basketball shootout at times, the Cardinals were able to put things in their superstar's hands for the last shot. "I love this," Pujols said. "That's why you play the game. That's why this game is so much fun. Because you want those situations. You want to be in that big spot when your team needs you the most." Matthew Leach is a reporter for MLB.com.
