來源：Boston Herald.Com http://0rz.tw/fa4tW Daisuke Matsuzaka latest to extend efforts of Sox starters 松阪，延續了最近紅襪先發的威猛表現 SEATTLE - The Red Sox still are having some difficulties in the eighth inning, but look at the bright side: Since the start of the second half, manager Terry Francona really hasn’t had to worry about the first seven. 西雅圖訊— 紅襪在第八局仍然有些許危機，但是往好的方向想，下半季紅襪的先發表現，讓粉柯南完全不必擔心前面七局。 Following the lead set by Josh Beckett, Tim Wakefield and Jon Lester, right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka took the Sox into the eighth inning of last night’s 4-2 win over the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. The M’s ended Matsuzaka’s shutout bid and streak of 24 1/3 scoreless innings with a pair of runs before reliever Hideki Okajima extinguished the threat. 排在北極、老蝴蝶以及列斯特後面的右投松阪，率領著紅襪進入第八局，最後在西雅圖水手球場中，以4比2贏球。在岡島中繼上來救火之前，水手從松阪手中打出的兩分，讓松阪24.1局沒失分的紀錄中止。 Since Clay Buchholz failed to endure the fifth inning of Friday’s second-half opener against the Los Angeles Angels, Sox starters Beckett, Wakefield, Lester and Matsuzaka have posted an aggregate 3.03 ERA while averaging more than 7 1/3 innings per start. Of the 10 runs allowed by the pitchers, only two have come before the seventh. 紅襪下半季的首號先發-八扣子，在星期五對天使的比賽中投不到五局，之後的紅襪先發，包括北極、老蝴蝶、列斯特以及松阪這四位，均投超過7.1局，且平均防禦率為3.03，這四位先發中所丟的10分，只有2分在七局之前丟分的。 “When your starting pitching goes that deep, it certainly helps. We’re going to the bullpen in the eighth inning and not the sixth,” Francona said. “We’ve actually pitched pretty well (since the break). If our starting pitching goes deep like that, we should be OK.” 粉柯南說：「當投手能吃久一點局數，確實對球隊有所幫助。因為如此我們的牛棚就可以第八局才上，而不是第六局。」「我們的先發表現得相當好(從明星賽之後)，假如我們每次比賽，先發都能像這樣投這麼久，我們絕對是OK的。」 In the cases of Lester and Matsuzaka, especially, the Sox gave the pitchers extended rest at the All-Star break. Matsuzaka had not pitched since July 13. With the effort by Matsuzaka, Sox starters leaped ahead of the Angels’ starters and now possess the second-best ERA in the American league (3.73). Beckett, Lester, Matsuzaka and Wakefield all have ERAs under 4.00. 特別是列斯特跟松阪，紅襪球團讓這兩位投手在明星賽之後休息較久。松阪從7/13之後到今天7/22之間都沒有投球。靠著松阪的努力，紅襪先發陣容的防禦率為3.73，超越了天使的先發防禦率，爬到了美國聯盟第二名的位子。尤其，北極、列斯特、松阪以及老蝴蝶的個人防禦率都在4以下。 In their four starts on this current road trip, Beckett, Wakefield, Lester and Matsuzaka have issued only four walks in 29 2/3 innings, a sterling average of just 1.21 walks per nine innings. To put that number into perspective, the Sox overall have averaged 3.88 walks per nine innings this season. 北極、老蝴蝶、列斯特以及松阪在這四場客場之旅的先發表現，在29.2局當中只送出4個保送，也就是平均九局中只有送出1.21個保送。放大到整季來看，紅襪先發在九局平均送出3.88個保送。 Regardless, Francona is hardly willing to turn away any advantage at a time when the Sox offense is sill laboring to score runs and his bullpen situation remains somewhat unsettled.“They’re an aggressive team,” Francona said of the Mariners. For now, at least, that has only helped Sox pitchers get deeper into games. 無論如何，雖然目前紅襪打擊得分有點辛苦，以及牛棚也有點抖抖的情況下，粉柯南幾乎不願意放棄任何優勢。粉柯南提到水手時說：「他們是一支很有攻擊性的隊伍。」不過，至少就目前來看，水手的表現，讓紅襪的先發吃了不少局數。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.224.54.201
