Red Sox move 6.5 games up on Yankees … - 美國職棒

※ 引述《terrykyo (大力摳)》之銘言：
: NEW YORK (AP) -- At this rate, the Boston Red Sox will blow the New York
: Yankees out of the AL East race before summer.

如果繼續這樣下去，紅襪會在夏天以前把洋基排除於東區冠軍的爭奪戰之外。(好！)

: Daisuke Matsuzaka overcame control problems to defeat the Yankees for the
: second time in six days, and Kevin Youkilis and Julio Lugo homered in a
: come-from-behind 11-4 victory Friday night that improved Boston to 4-0
: against its longtime rival this season.

Dice-K渡過了控球危機，六天內第二度打倒北佬。Youk和乳溝在這場11-4的勝利中，各

貢獻了一支全壘打，使得今年對死敵的戰績達到4-0(就這樣下去吧XD)

: New York (8-13), whose April began to unravel with three straight losses at
: Fenway Park last weekend, has lost seven consecutive games for the first time
: since the final seven of the 2000 season. The last-place Yankees have fallen
: 61/2 games back of the division-leading Red Sox.

北佬(8-13)的四月的轉捩點是上週末在芬威的三連戰，並從那之後連輸了七場，也是2000

年來第一次。目前墊底的洋基，落後紅襪6.5場。

: "I wouldn't push a panic button yet," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said before
: the game. "I don't look at things negatively. I don't look around and say,
: `Well, if it gets to 30 in a row."'

北佬隊長Mr. Aiba:「我不會恐慌。我不會把事情看的那麼糟。我不會說『如果我們30

連敗....』之類的喪氣話。」

: By then, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner surely would make changes.
: Steinbrenner hasn't commented on the slide.

北佬的老大一定會做一些改變。他到目前為止尚未對最近的連敗發表評論。

: "He won't say anything tonight. We'll see if he has anything to say
: tomorrow," spokesman Howard Rubenstein said.

發言人Howard Rubenstein：「他今晚什麼都不會說。但是明天等著瞧。」

: Trying to end New York's run of nine straight AL East titles, Boston (15-7)
: is building confidence against the Yankees but also is wary. It's come to
: this for New York: Mariano Rivera, who doesn't have a save this season, was
: sent in to get some work in the ninth and allowed four of five batters to
: reach. He gave up four runs and got just one out, raising his ERA to 12.15.
: "They are a good team," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "It's early.
: They have not hit their stride yet, and I hope they don't for the next three
: games."

紅襪在終結北佬霸業的路上，已經建立了不少信心，但仍然相當小心。對紐約來說：

Mariano Rivera，一個到目前為沒有任何救援成功的CL，第九局上來餵球時只解決了一個

人次並丟了四分，使ERA上升到12.15。

Coma：「北佬是支很好的球隊。現在還太早。他們還沒踩穩腳步，我希望接下來三場還是

如此。」

: Given a 4-2 lead after the Yankees scored four in the fourth, Andy Pettitte
: (1-1) immediately gave it back, forcing in the tying run with a bases-loaded
: walk and allowing the go-ahead run to score on a wild pitch. Pettitte allowed
: five runs, six hits and five walks in 4 2-3 innings, making it 11 times in 21
: games that New York's starters failed to pitch five innings.
: Matsuzaka (3-2) beat New York 7-6 in Boston last Sunday to complete the
: sweep. Making his first appearance at Yankee Stadium, Dice-K wasn't
: particularly sharp but he got the job done. He gave up four runs and five
: hits in six innings, striking out seven.

洋基第四局得四分，形成4-2領先後，Pettite(1-1)馬上把領先吐了回去，保送送回了

紅襪的追平分，再用一個暴投使情勢完全逆轉。Pettite在4 2/3局中，丟了五分，被打

六支安打，並送了五次保送。這也是北佬堅強的先發陣在本季21場中第11次丟不滿五局。

Dice-K上週日在波士頓以7-6的比數送了北佬一支掃把。本季第一次在洋基球場出賽，

他表現的或許不是那麼犀利，但是成功的扮演好他的角色。六局失了四分，被打出五支安

打但送給他們七張老K。

: Derek Jeter, who returned to the Yankees' lineup after sitting out Thursday
: with a thigh injury, had three of New York's seven hits. Coco Crisp was in
: Boston's lineup after missing five starts with abdominal tightness and went
: 2-for-5 with an RBI single in the ninth.

Ms. Aiba在星期四因傷缺陣一場後回到先發打線，並包辦七支安打中的三支。

Coco在場邊看了電風扇五場後回到先發，交出了5-2並在第九局擊出帶有打點的安打。

: Youkilis' two-run homer put Boston ahead in the third, but the Yankees
: stopped their scoreless streak at 13 innings in the fourth after Matsuzaka
: loaded the bases on walks with none out. Jorge Posada blooped an
: opposite-field single in front of a sliding Manny Ramirez in left, and Johnny
: Damon hit a soft single on a 3-2 pitch with two outs, a ball that dropped in
: front of right fielder J.D. Drew. Jeter hit a pitch off the end of his bat
: past a diving Youkilis at first for a 4-2 lead.

Youk的兩分彈讓紅襪在第三局取得領先，但是基佬第四局時，在沒人出局滿壘後從Dice-K

手中打下四分，中斷連13局未得分。Posada打了一支反方向安打，落在滑壘接球的Manny

面前。前18號在兩好三壞後，打了一支鳥安，落在Drew的防區。Mr. Aiba用球棒最前端，

打了一個正好穿越Youk的安打，取得4-2的領先。

: Matsuzaka needed 42 pitches to get through three innings, but threw 41 in the
: fourth. Then it was Pettitte's turn to lose control.

Dice-K前三局投了42球，但是第四局整整用了41球。然後就輪到他們的王牌爆炸了。

: Lugo, who had three hits, three RBIs and three runs, walked with one out in
: the fifth and came home on David Ortiz's single. Ramirez walked to load the
: bases and, after Drew struck out, Pettitte forced in the tying run with a
: walk to Mike Lowell. With a 1-1 count on Jason Varitek, Pettitte bounced a
: wild pitch that hit the glove of Posada and rolled under the catcher as Ortiz
: came in with the go-ahead run. After Pettitte reloaded the bases with a walk
: to Varitek, Scott Proctor relieved and got Crisp to fly out on his first
: pitch.

今天打了三支安打、貢獻三分打點的乳溝在一出局後被保送，並靠著老爹的安打回本壘。

Manny被保送後形成滿壘。雖然Drew被K，但是賣肉選到了一個保送，送回追平分。

面對隊長，在1-1的情況下，Pettite丟了一個打到Posada手套且從他腳下滾過的暴投。

老爹奔回本壘取得超前分。在Pettite再度保送隊長後，天天P上場，第一球讓Coco打成

飛球被接殺。

: Lugo homered off Proctor for a 6-4 lead in the sixth. He had not homered in
: 240 at-bats since July 22 against Baltimore, when he connected twice in Tampa
: Bay's 10-run fifth inning. Against Luis Vizcaino in the eighth, Lugo added an
: RBI double past a diving Alex Rodriguez at third.

第六局6-4領先時，乳溝從天天P的手中噴了一發。從去年7/22對金鶯，貢獻了第五局十分

中的兩分後，已經240個打數沒噴過了。第八局面對Vizcaino時，乳溝又打了一支穿越

A-rod的二壘安打，帶有一分打點。

: Notes: Boston LHP Jon Lester allowed three walks in five shutout innings for
: Triple-A Pawtucket against Buffalo in what was expected to be his
: second-to-last rehab outing before he returns to the Boston rotation. Coming
: back from chemotherapy to treat cancer of the lymph system, Lester was 0-0
: with a 2.98 ERA in three appearances with Class-A Greenville. ... Bobby Abreu
: was 0-for-5 with two strikeouts and a double-play grounder and is in a
: 1-for-23 slide. ... The Yankees had not lost seven straight in April since
: 1989.

Note：Lester在他在Pawtucket的倒數第二場復建賽，五局無失分，送出三次保送。

在化療後，他在1A的Greenville投了三場，0-0，ERA2.98

Abreu 今天5-0，最近23個打數中只有一安打。

北佬自1989年來，第一次在四月時7連敗
