Yankees are one win from World Series after beating Astros 5-0 in Game 5 of
ALCS
洋基再一場就可以獲得世界大賽門票

This week, Dallas Keuchel mentioned two particular joys of his job as a
Houston Astros starting pitcher. One is when he takes the mound for the first
inning, the nerves building within him. He likes to take one deep breath and
soak in the atmosphere in the stadium. The other is when he warms up in the
bullpen. Depending on the city, a collection of fans and accompanying
concessions might have already materialized.
這個禮拜，開口提到身為太空人先發投手有兩件事很有趣。一件是是當他第一局上場投球
的時候，神經開始會緊繃，他喜歡那時候深呼吸一口氣，然後讓自己沉浸在球場的氛圍
中。另外一件則是當他在牛棚裡熱身的時候，看在哪裡投球，會有一些球迷或是球場賣東
西的攤位會出現。

“Usually,” Keuchel said, “there's a funnel cake or like a hot dog, which
smells really good.”
「通常啦，」開口說，「會有漏斗蛋糕或是熱狗，那味道真的很香。」

Before Wednesday’s fifth game of the American League Championship Series at
Yankee Stadium, extra security surrounded the visiting bullpen. Fans had
pelted Astros pitchers with food the previous day. Twenty minutes before
first pitch, Keuchel walked inside and fans began to shower him with routine
insults, many mocking his lengthy beard. When Keuchel removed his cap for the
national anthem, revealing the bald spot on the back of his head, Yankees
fans seized.
在星期三之前的ALCS第五戰，額外有一些保全派駐在洋基的牛棚。有一些球迷在前一天對
太空人的投手丟擲食物。在正式投球前20分鐘，開口走進牛棚熱身然後球迷開始一貫的垃
圾話攻擊，大部分是針對他的大鬍子。當開口在唱國歌的時候拿下帽子，後腦杓有個禿掉
的部分，洋基球迷當然不會放過。

“Hey, Dallas!” one man screamed. “Get some Rogaine!”
「嘿！開口！』一個球迷大叫。「要不要塗點落健啊！」

A few fans repeatedly shouted his sister’s name when Keuchel resumed
throwing. He finished the session, high-fived some teammates and set off for
the dugout. Soon, his night — and the Astros’ chances — would be ruined.
Despite his excitement and his history of success in this stadium, Keuchel
permitted four runs and could not finish five innings as the New York Yankees
secured a 5-0 victory at their sold-out home ballpark.
當開口繼續熱身時，一些球迷重複的叫著開口妹妹的名字。當熱身完畢，開口跟一些太空
人球員High-Five之後，上場去投球。然而，很快的今晚開口的機會--太空人的機會--就毀
惹。儘管開口非常興奮的上場，他之前在洋基球場也投的很好，開口投不滿五局，掉了4
分，最後在滿場的狀況下，洋基5-0擊敗太空人。

Winners of three in a row in this series, the Yankees will have two tries to
win one game at Houston’s Minute Maid Park to clinch a World Series spot.
在最後三場搶兩場勝的系列賽，洋基將有兩次的機會在太空人主場試著搶下一場的勝利，
打進世界大賽。

It started when Keuchel surrendered a two-out double to Starlin Castro in the
second inning, then fell behind 2-and-0 to Greg Bird and fired a fastball
along the inside edge. Bird shot it to right field for a run-scoring single.
一切開始在二局，開口在兩出局後被Castro打了一支二壘安打，下一個打者Bird又是兩壞
球球數落後投了一個內角快速球，被Bird打了一支右外野有打點的一壘安打。

The next inning, Aaron Judge smacked a run-scoring double down the left-field
line. Two innings later, Gary Sanchez whacked a ball in the same direction.
Marwin Gonzalez kept him to a single, but it scored a run. A Didi Gregorius
grounder that inched past Jose Altuve at second base scored another, and a
vicious Sanchez solo shot in the seventh supplied their last run.
下一局，法官打了一支左外野邊線有打點的二壘打；兩局後，Sanchez打了一支同樣方向的
安打，不過太空人Gonzalez的防守只讓它成為一壘安打，但是還是掉了一分。Didi打了一
支滾地球，Altuve在二壘差點接住，洋基再得一分。七局的時候，Sanchez補了一支單分全
壘打，打下洋基最後一分。

After George Springer’s leadoff flyout, Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka did
not record an out in the air until the sixth, when Altuve and Yuli Gurriel
blasted balls to the warning track in center. In total, he induced 10
groundouts and notched eight strikeouts.
在George Spinger的高飛球接殺後，太空人打線在田中的投球下，在六局之前沒有半個人
可以打出飛球。直到六局，Altuve跟Gurriel打出中外野快到全壘打牆附近的高球。最後，
田中投球總共造成太空人10個滾地出局跟8個三振。

His seven scoreless innings were a dominant effort in his most important
stateside start to date. Only one Yankee, Tommy Kahnle, was required in
relief.
這場田中7局無失分是到目前他為洋基投球最重要的一場先發，之後只需要一個洋基投手，
Kahnle，上來結束這場比賽。

After a Thursday travel day, these teams will meet again Friday in Houston,
with the Astros’ season on the line.
在星期四移動日之後，兩隊會在星期五太空人主場碰頭，太空人的球季能否繼續下去就看
這場惹。

The Yankees will start Luis Severino, their best pitcher in the regular
season who exited his last start early because manager Joe Girardi was
concerned his shoulder might be hurt. The team says he’s fine now.
洋基先發將會是Severino，洋基正規賽最好的投手，但是上場先發時，總教練Girardi讓他
提早下場，因為擔心他肩膀可能受傷，不過球團表示他現在很好。

Houston will send out Justin Verlander, who threw a masterful complete game
in this series’ second game.
太空人則是會派出Verlander先發，他在ALCS第二戰投出完投勝。
