第一次嘗試翻譯，請大家不吝指教。這篇上面有人翻過了。 BALTIMORE -- The No. 20 is one that every elite starting pitcher covets. And even if Josh Beckett claims not to be thinking about it yet, he is getting tantalizingly close to notching that impressive win total for the first time in his career. 20勝是每一位優秀的先發投手所渴望的，即使Beckett說他並不會去在意這件事，但在這麼樣接近他職業生涯第一次如此令人印象深刻的勝場總和之際，Beckett還是非常擔心。 Behind win No. 18 from Beckett -- not to mention a timely two-out hit from Coco Crisp -- the Red Sox rolled out of Baltimore with a 3-2 conquest on Sunday afternoon. The one-stop road trip ended with the Red Sox taking three out of four against the struggling Orioles. 在Beckett獲得18勝之後，不得不去提到Crisp在兩出局後一支及時的安打，在星期天的下午，紅襪3-2打敗了巴爾的摩，以從掙扎的金鶯手中拿下四戰三勝的成績結束這次只有一站的客場之旅。 For Beckett, it was just another stop en route to his finest Major League season. The ace right-hander mowed the Orioles down over seven solid innings, striking out eight and walking nobody. He gave up a pair of runs -- both on solo homers. Beckett (18-6, 3.27 ERA) maintained a share of the Major League lead in wins, and he remains as one of the leading contenders for the American League Cy Young Award 對Beckett來說，這只是在他職業生涯中最好的一季中路線的另外一站。這位王牌右投在7 局好投中掃滅了金鶯，8次三振且沒有保送。他失去了2分，2分都是陽春全壘打。Beckett 保持全大聯盟勝投的並列領先，也在美聯賽揚獎競爭者中保持領先。 "I'm trying to win 19," Beckett said. "I told you I was trying to win 18 last week. Now I'll try to win 19." Beckett說：「我試著去贏19勝」，「上星期我說我試著去拿下18勝，現在我會去試嘗贏 19勝。」 His chance to do that will come on Saturday at Fenway Park in a matchup with the Yankees and fellow AL Cy Young contender Chien-Ming Wang, who's also tied with Beckett in victories. 他的機會將會在星期六的芬威球場，一場與洋基隊以及與他並列勝投領先的美聯賽揚爭奪者王建民的比賽。 "I'm so proud of what he's done to this point," Red Sox right-hander Curt Schilling said of Beckett. "I saw it last year. I saw the attempt in Spring Training [this year] to change and make adjustments, and now it's playing out. It's fun to watch. He's as good a pitcher as there is in the big leagues right now." 「我為他的所作所為感到驕傲，」紅襪隊的右投Schilling談到Beckett說：「我在春訓的時候看見了他試圖改變並作一些調整，而現在就是表現出來。看見這些事是有趣的，他現在就像那些在偉大領域的投手一樣的好。」 Beckett's toughest encounter came in the bottom of the seventh inning with a runner on third and the pesky Brian Roberts at the plate. After throwing nine straight heaters, Beckett ended his 116-pitch outing by fanning Roberts on a changeup in the dirt. Beckett最艱困的挑戰出現在7局下半，三壘有人而且是麻煩的Roberts打擊區，在連續投了9顆火球之後，Beckett以一記本壘板前落地的變速球解決了Roberts也結束了他116球的表現。 "The Roberts at-bat in the seventh, it's a phenomenal at-bat," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "From our side, it's better, because we got him out. One of the better hitters in the league against one of the better pitchers in the league. And he had to be that good, because there was no margin for error." 「Roberts七局的那個打擊是個傑出的打擊。」紅襪隊的總教練Francona說，「以我們的角度來說，我們更厲害，因為我們讓他出局了；一個聯盟中的好打者對決一個聯盟中的好投手，他必須做到這麼好，因為那不容許任何錯誤出現。」 Beckett was nearly left with a tough-luck no-decision, but Crisp ended that possibility by lacing a 2-1 pitch from O's reliever Chad Bradford up the middle to score J.D. Drew and snap the 2-2 tie. Beckett很有可能運氣不好的無關勝敗下離場，但是在1好2壞的情況下，Crisp從金鶯的救援投手Bradford手中敲出中間方向安打讓Drew得分也打破了2-2的僵局，終結了無關勝敗的可能性。 "That's what great teams do," said Beckett. "They come through for one another, not just for me. We've done that a lot this year." 「這是一支偉大隊伍的做為。」Beckett說：「他們得到了重要的一分，不只是為了我，我們今年做了很多這樣的事。」 With the win, the 87-57 Red Sox kept a 5 1/2-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East, while shrinking their magic number for clinching the division to 14. 藉著勝利，87勝57敗的紅襪在美聯東區繼續對洋基保持著5 1/2的領先，同時將在分區封王的魔術數字縮短到了14。 "We showed up today to win and we did," said Francona. "It was a tough one, but we did a good job." 「我們表現出要贏球的樣子而且我們做到了。」Francona說：「這是一場艱困的比賽，但是我們幹的很好。」 The 1-2 punch of Hideki Okajima (scoreless eighth) and Jonathan Papelbon (save No. 35 in the ninth) closed it out for Beckett. Okajima（無失分的第八局）和Papelbon（第九局，第35救援）的兩記重拳幫Beckett守住了比賽。 "They've been the backbone of that deal out there," said Beckett 「他們已經成為比賽分配的主要依靠了。」Beckett說。 Papelbon has simply been masterful as of late. Before Melvin Mora got a broken-bat single in the ninth inning, Papelbon had retired 17 batters in a row, dating back to Aug. 17. Papelbon就像以往一樣的有主宰力。在第9局Mora打出一支斷棒的安打之前，追朔到8月17 日，Papelbon已經連續讓17名打者出局了。 "I know I'm putting together some good streaks out there, but I don't sit there and count what I'm doing or go home and write down what I'm going to do," Papelbon said. "I just go out there and try to repeat what I did the day before and just try to run with it." 「我知道我正處於一個讓人連續出局的情況下，但我不會因此陷下去然後計算著我的做為或者回到家將我的表現給記下來。」Papelbon說：「我就是跳脫那樣的狀況，然後試著重複前些日子我所做的，並且持續向前。」 The Red Sox generated their first rally in the third inning, with Dustin Pedroia getting it started with a one-out single. David Ortiz not only beat the shift by barely scraping a liner by second baseman Roberts, who was in shallow right field, but the ball was hit so hard that it rolled all the way to the wall for a double. Mike Lowell, Boston's best run producer this season, knew what to do, hammering a two-run single up the middle. 紅襪在3局發揮第一次的團隊合作，Pedroia用一支一出局後的安打開始，Ortiz不只是用一支剛好穿越站在右外野的二壘手Roberts的平飛安打擊垮了極度調防，而且這球打的強勁到一路滾到了全壘打牆形成一支二壘安打；Lowell，波士頓今年最好的打點製造機，他知道該做什麼，他打出了一支中外野方向帶有兩分打點的一壘安打。 "You get [Beckett] a two-run cushion, and the other team thinks they need to mount a rally against him," Lowell said. "That's not easy to do." 「Beckett得到了兩分的緩衝，但是金鶯覺得他們應該要重振旗鼓對抗他。」Lowell說：「這並不容易辦到。」 The Orioles got one back in the bottom of the fourth, courtesy of a solo homer to left by Mora. Mora在四局下半轟出左外野方向陽春炮，金鶯拿了一分回來。 Nick Markakis launched the O's second solo homer to left to tie the game at 2 in the bottom of the sixth. Markakis在六局下半揮出了金鶯第二支陽春全壘打將比賽帶至2-2平手。 But that was all there would be against Beckett. How much does it mean for a team to have an ace deliver such consistent results? 但這些就是他們對抗Beckett所能做的全部了，對一支隊伍來說，擁有一名王牌投手來實現這樣始終如一的比賽結果有多重大的意義呢？ "You can't put a price tag on it," Lowell said. "It's humongous. There's not too many guys in the league that are like that. We know that even when he doesn't have his good stuff, he's going to give us a chance to win. That's a good feeling. That's why he's an ace. That's why he's one of the Cy Young candidates for sure." 「你無法對此定下一個明確的評價。」Lowell說：「在聯盟中，能像這樣的人並不多，我們知道就算他狀況不好的時候，他依然能夠給我們贏球的機會，這種感覺很棒，這就是他為什麼是個王牌，這就是為什麼他確確實實是賽揚獎候選人之一。」 -- 想被打滿貫就選Manny 想被打再見就選Papi -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.124.1.144 ※ 編輯: colakane 來自: 122.124.1.144 (09/10 20:31)
