Giants' pitching, versatility fit for Interleague
巨人隊的投手組合將因應跨聯盟賽事做出多變的組合
AL slate includes Bay Bridge Series, three Central matchups
跟美聯球隊的賽事包含灣區大橋系列戰, 以及跟3支美聯中區球隊的比賽

Pitchers' duels galore. A matchup of the game's best young catchers. A
possible World Series preview.
投手大戰. 最佳的年輕捕手的對決戲碼. 可能成為今年世界大賽對戰組合的前哨戰.
Those are among the potential attractions of the Giants' Interleague
schedule, which features matchups with three American League Central clubs as
well as the usual home-and-home series against the cross-bay rival Oakland
A's.
那些都將呈現在巨人隊跨聯盟賽事的賽程上可能吸引大家關注的地方, 巨人隊的跨聯盟賽
事包含跟美聯中區的3支球隊的系列戰, 以及跟隔著海灣的世仇奧克蘭運動家隊在雙方主
場各有一組系列戰.
The Giants begin the Interleague portion of their schedule on Friday, when
the A's drive across the Bay Bridge for a three-game series at AT&T Park.
That'll finish San Francisco's Interleague Play for nearly four weeks, until
the Giants and A's again meet in Oakland from June 17-19.
巨人隊將在星期五開啟跨聯盟賽事, 運動家隊將在橫跨海灣大橋作客AT&T Park進行3連戰
. 在這之後接下來4周沒有跨聯盟賽事, 直到巨人隊跟運動家隊6月17~19日在奧克蘭再度
廝殺.
The Bay Bridge Series has been extremely competitive. The A's lead it, 42-38,
though the Giants won five of six games in 2009. Last year was a testament to
home-field advantage, as each team recorded a three-game sweep at its
ballpark.
海灣大橋系列戰一直是極為競爭的. 在這系列戰史上運動家隊以42勝38敗占上風, 儘管
2009年巨人隊在6場比賽贏了5場. 去年是主場優勢的考驗, 兩支球隊都分別在各自主場3
連勝橫掃.
Those games will match two of the best starting rotations in the Major
Leagues against each other. Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Jonathan Sanchez lead
the Giants, while Trevor Cahill, Brett Anderson and Gio Gonzalez anchor
Oakland's rotation.
那些比賽將會是兩組大聯盟最佳先發投手輪值的對決. Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain和
Jonathan Sanchez率領著巨人隊, Trevor Cahill, Brett Anderson和Gio Gonzalez則是
奧克蘭隊先發投手輪值的三大支柱.
The next series promises to be extremely intriguing, as long as Minnesota's
Joe Mauer is healed. With Mauer and Buster Posey on the field, fans will have
the chance to see two of baseball's top catchers -- one already established
(Mauer, the 2009 AL Most Valuable Player) and one still learning his craft
(Posey, the reigning National League Rookie of the Year).
相信下一個系列戰將會是極為引人矚目的, 當明尼蘇達隊的Joe Mauer傷癒了. 在同一賽
場上有著Mauer和Buster Posey, 球迷們有機會看到兩位棒球界最好的捕手 -- 一位已經
確立他的地位了(Mauer, 2009年美聯MVP), 另一位仍然在磨練技巧中(Posey, 去年的國聯
年度最佳新秀).
Then come the Cleveland Indians, who'll visit San Francisco for the first
time since 2005. The Indians, who occupy first place in the AL Central,
probably would relish a three-game matchup against the reigning World Series
champions. From July 1-3, the Giants play in Detroit, where they haven't
played since 2005.
接下來將對上克里夫蘭印第安人隊, 他們將會是自2005年以來首度造訪舊金山. 印地安人
隊目前在美聯中區排名第一, 很可能會在對上去年世界大賽冠軍的3連戰中獲得樂趣. 在
7月1~3日, 巨人隊將作客底特律對上老虎隊, 兩隊自2005年後未曾交手.
Given the versatility most Giants position players possess, manager Bruce
Bochy can use virtually anybody as a designated hitter, though Pat Burrell,
the left fielder who's typically removed late in games for defensive
purposes, is the most logical choice to fill the role.
巨人隊的球員們所扮演的角色相當多變, 經理Bruce Bochy幾乎可以讓任何球員擔任指定
打擊, 雖然最近左外野手Pat Burrell因為守備上的需要而不被考慮, 是在填補角色上最
具邏輯的選擇.
Last year: San Francisco finished 7-8 in Interleague. But timing is
everything. The Giants weren't playing particularly well during the
Interleague phases, but being swept May 21-23 at Oakland helped prompt them
to recall Posey from Triple-A.
去年: 舊金山隊在跨聯盟比賽戰績7勝8敗. 但是節奏就是一切. 巨人隊在跨聯盟比賽並沒
有打得特別好, 但是在5月21~23日在奧克蘭慘遭橫掃促使他們將Posey從3A叫上大聯盟.
All-time: The Giants are 113-111 in Interleague Play since it started in
1997. Their best year against AL opponents was 2001, when they finished 10-5.
總計: 在1997年大聯盟開放跨聯盟比賽以來, 巨人隊史上在跨聯盟比賽總計戰績113勝111
敗. 2001年是他們對上美聯球隊打得最好的一年, 10勝5敗.
A's, May 20-22: This promises to be an extremely low-scoring series, given
the teams' quality pitching and struggling offenses. Giants all-time vs.
Oakland: 38-42. A's players to watch: CF Coco Crisp, 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff, RF
David DeJesus, LF Josh Willingham.
5月20~22日 主場對運動家隊: 相信這會是級低比分的系列戰, 從兩隊的優質投手和糟糕
的打線可想而知. 巨人隊史上對運動家隊的戰績: 38勝42敗. 運動家隊值得觀察的球員:
中外野手Coco Crisp, 三壘手Kevin Kouzmanoff, 右外野手David DeJesus, 左外野手
Josh Willingham.
@ A's, June 17-19: The Giants have not fared well at Oakland, where they are
17-23. A's players to watch: DH Hideki Matsui.
6月17~19日 客場對運動家隊: 巨人隊在奧克蘭打得不好, 他們作客奧克蘭的戰績是17勝
23敗. 運動家隊值得觀察的球員為指定打擊松井秀喜.
vs. Twins, June 21-23: Minnesota got the best of the November 2003 deal in
which the Giants traded LHP Francisco Liriano and RHPs Boof Bonser and Joe
Nathan to the Twins for catcher A.J. Pierzynski. Liriano remains a member of
the starting rotation and Nathan became an All-Star closer before developing
injury woes. Giants all-time vs. Minnesota: 3-3. Twins players to watch: 1B
Justin Morneau, CF Denard Span, RF Michael Cuddyer.
6月21~23日 主場對雙城隊: 明尼蘇達隊在2003年11月的交易中得到最大收穫, 這筆交易
中巨人隊將左投Francisco Liriano和兩位右投Boof Bonser和Joe Nathan交易至雙城隊換
來捕手A.J. Pierzynski. Liriano依舊是先發輪值中的成員, 而且在陷入受傷的困境前
Nathan後來成為全明星級終結者. 巨人隊史上對雙城隊的戰績: 3勝3敗. 雙城隊值得觀察
的球員: 一壘手Justin Morneau, 中外野手Denard Span, 右外野手Michael Cuddyer.
vs. Indians, June 24-26: Since Cleveland began training in Arizona a couple
of years ago, this series has lost some of its novelty, though this will mark
just the third time the teams have met in the regular season. Giants all-time
vs. Cleveland: 2-4. Indians players to watch: CF Michael Brantley, SS
Asdrubal Cabrera, 1B Matt LaPorta.
6月24~26日 主場對印第安人隊: 自從兩年前克里夫蘭隊開始將春訓基地移至亞利桑納後,
這系列戰似乎有失其新鮮感, 雖然這將會是兩隊史上第3次在例行賽中交手. 巨人隊史上
對印第安人隊的戰績: 2勝4敗. 印第安人隊值得觀察的球員: 中外野手Michael Brantley
, 游擊手Asdrubal Cabrera, 一壘手Matt LaPorta.
@ Tigers, July 1-3: With Jim Leyland at the managerial helm of the Tigers,
the Giants might feel like they're playing an NL team. Giants all-time vs.
Detroit: 5-4. Tigers players to watch: C Alex Avila, 1B Miguel Cabrera, SS
Jhonny Peralta.
7月1~3日 客場對老虎隊: 在Jim Leyland管理掌舵下的老虎隊, 巨人隊應該會覺得他們像
是對上國聯球隊. 巨人隊史上對老虎隊的戰績: 5勝4敗. 老虎隊值得觀察的球員: 捕手
Alex Avila, 一壘手Miguel Cabrera, 游擊手Jhonny Peralta.
Players to watch: Burrell, LF (.207, 22 HRs, 80 RBIs): Nice production
numbers, but also has 169 strikeouts in 522 at-bats.
Brian Wilson, RHP (0-0, 4.70 ERA): What's important is that he's 12-for-12 in
converting save opportunities.
巨人隊陣中值得關注的球員有:
左外野手Pat Burrell(對美聯打擊率.207, 22發全壘打, 80分打點): 產生的數據還不錯,
但是在522打數吞了169次三振.
右投Brian Wilson(對美聯戰績0勝0敗, 防禦率4.70): 最重要的是他在12場比賽的救援機
會都能順利完成任務
