http://0rz.tw/db4h2 Sox rally, but 'pen can't contain Orioles Baltimore continues to haunt Okajima, who gives up lead By Ian Browne / MLB.com BOSTON -- If there was an area that had been performing above all others for the Red Sox over the last couple of weeks, it was the bullpen, which had become increasingly stingy. 如果過去幾週的紅襪隊，有哪個部分的表現特別突出，那就是牛棚了，他們越來越難纏。 But that trend went on temporary hiatus on Tuesday night when Hideki Okajima -- brought on to hold Josh Beckett's two-run lead in the seventh -- couldn't get the job done. Once Okajima handed the lead to Baltimore, the Red Sox never got it back, falling, 10-6, on a hot and steamy evening at Fenway Park. 但是這個趨勢在禮拜二有點脫軌，岡島秀樹－在第七局上場要保住Josh Beckett的兩分領先－但是沒辦法搞定工作。岡島一將領先交還給巴爾的摩，紅襪就再也沒有要回來了，他們以10比6輸球了，在一個狂熱的芬威公園夜。 For whatever reason, most of Okajima's worst performances this season have come against the Orioles. The lefty's ERA is 13.50 against the Orioles, and 0.40 vs. everyone else. 不知道什麼原因，岡島這季最糟的表現總是面對金鶯隊。他對金鶯隊的ERA是13.50，對其他隊是0.40。 In this particular instance, however, it might not have mattered who he was facing. The night was conducive to hitting as it was, and Okajima added to it, leaving pitches in the meaty part of the strike zone. 然而，這次不管他是遇上哪位打者了。昨晚的比賽一直都是打擊戰，岡島也添了一筆，他把球投到好球帶裡鮮嫩可口的位置。 "This was one of those days where he just didn't have a good feel, couldn't get the ball down," said Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek. "Today, it was more so he just didn't execute his pitches. When he executes his pitches, he gives anybody fits." 「只是那種他就是沒有很好球感的晚上，沒辦法把球壓低。」紅襪隊捕手Jason Varitek 說：「今天，他尤其沒辦法把球投好。當他可以投出想要的球時，他可以搞定任何人。」 Okajima was unavailable for comment after the game. On this night, he wasn't the only reliever who struggled. 岡島在賽後沒有接受訪問。在今晚，他不是唯一一個投得很掙扎的後援投手。【中略】 But Okajima let it evaporate in a hurry in the top of the seventh. 但是岡島讓領先在七局上半蒸發了。 "He was up with a lot of pitches and behind in the count," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. 「他的球路偏高，球數落後。」紅襪隊教練Terry Francona說。 With one out, Okajima walked Brian Roberts, served up a double to Nick Markakis and walked Melvin Mora to load the bases. Aubrey Huff roped a two-run single up the middle to tie the game. Kevin Millar followed with a sacrifice fly to give the Orioles the lead back. 一人出局時，岡島保送了Brian Roberts，被Nick Markakis打了一支二壘安打，又保送了Melvin Mora擠成滿壘。Aubrey Huff打了一支兩分打點的一壘安打，扳平了比數。 Kevin Millar再添一支高飛犧牲打，替金鶯隊要回領先。 “You've got to wait him out," said Orioles manager Dave Trembley. "You can't chase pitches off the plate. You've got to make him throw it over." 「你必須要慢慢等他。」金鶯隊教練 Dave Trembley說：「你不能離開本壘板去追打。你得要讓他丟過來。」 Coming into the contest, Boston relievers had posted a 1.94 ERA in the previous 16 games. 在這場比賽之前，紅襪隊牛棚在最近16場比賽，ERA是1.94。 "We keep taking steps and getting better," Varitek said. "There was some good about pitching right there. It wasn't all bad." 「我們按部就班來，變的越來越好。」Varitek 說：「還是有些還不錯的球。不是都那麼糟。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.34.48
