[外電] Yankees shut out, swept by Rays

Yankees shut out, swept by Rays  http://tinyurl.com/6lovu37

Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon talked all spring about the importance of
winning early, and the Rays have responded by matching the best start in
franchise history with a season-opening sweep of the New York Yankees.
光芒球員有把教練春訓的話聽進去, 一開季就橫掃了洋基 (戟兵戰法...)

Jeremy Hellickson came within one out of a three-hitter on his birthday and
the Rays beat the Yankees 3-0 Sunday to drop the defending AL East champions
to 0-3 for the first time in 14 years.
光芒投手J.H.今天生日, 用8又2/3局只被擊出三安的好表現替自己慶生, 光芒3:0擊敗
美聯東區王者洋基, 是14年來的首次對戰洋基三連勝橫掃

The Rays, who overcame a nine-game deficit in September to earn the AL wild
card last season, didn't take a lead until the ninth inning of their seventh
game a year ago.
光芒, 去年九月克服九場落差努力贏得美東外卡資格, 在一年前第七戰的第九局之前
都沒取得過領先

They took first-inning leads in all three games against the Yankees and swept
the series with help from several players brought in this winter to bolster
the offense and bullpen.
光芒靠著冬天交易來的幾名球員補強了打線跟牛棚, 靠著這些人在對洋基的系列戰, 每
一場第一局都迅速的取得領先, 然後橫掃了洋基

"It's looking good," said Carlos Pena, Tampa Bay's career home run leader who
is back in a Rays uniform after spending 2011 with the Chicago Cubs.
去年還在芝加哥小熊的Carlos Pena, 今年重回光芒, 他也是光芒的全壘打紀錄保持者,
賽後說"看起來真棒!"

Pena and another offseason acquisition, Jeff Keppinger, homered for Tampa
Bay, which also started with three consecutive wins in 2002. The Yankees are
0-3 for the first time since 1998, when they went on to win 114 games and the
World Series.
Pena跟另一個休季時交易來的Keppinger, 今天都貢獻出全壘打, 這是光芒自2002年來
的首次開季三連勝, 也是洋基自1998年來首次開季三連敗, 附帶一提, 1998年開季三連
敗後那一季洋基贏了114場季賽 & 世界冠軍

New York manager Joe Girardi isn't concerned.
"At times, it seems magnified when it's the beginning of the year," Girardi
said. "We've all been through three-game losing streaks. This is a resilient
club. We'll be fine."
但Girardi不太在意這數據, 他說有時候開季的表現會被大家放大解讀, 但每一隊都
有過三連敗, 這只是普通的三連敗, 我們會恢復身手的, 沒事的ok?

Celebrating his 25th birthday, Hellickson (1-0) limited the Yankees to
doubles by Nick Swisher, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez. The 2011 AL Rookie
of the Year walked four, struck out four and was one out from his third
career complete game and second shutout when he was replaced by Fernando
Rodney after 118 pitches.
去年MLB最佳菜鳥獎的Hellickson幫自己慶生, 只讓洋基三名球員擊出安打(都二壘),
四個保送四次三振, 然後只差一出局就生涯第三次完投跟第二次完封

The Yankees went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position against Hellickson
and Rodney, an offseason addition to Tampa Bay's bullpen who got the win in
Friday's season opener and then earned saves in each of the next two games.
New York was 5 for 25 with runners in scoring position for the series.
洋基六次得點圈有人時沒有一次有表現, 這系列戰洋基得點圈25次只拿下5次

"That was a good birthday present," Hellickson said. "It's always nice to get
off to a good start against these guys in our division. We came out and
played hard and got three good wins."
Hellickson表示這樣的生日禮物真棒, 尤其是擊敗同區的隊伍, 三連勝呢~

Pena homered off starter Phil Hughes (0-1) in the third. Keppinger hit a solo
shot off Boone Logan in the sixth, while Matt Joyce drove in Tampa Bay's
other run with a first-inning, broken-bat triple that skipped past sliding
right fielder Raul Ibanez.
Pena第三局從Hugh手中敲出陽春砲, Keppinger的陽春砲則是第六局從Logan手中擊出.
加上Joyce首局的斷棒三壘安打, 穿過洋基右外野手Ibanez的一分打點, 3:0

Hellickson gave up a one-out double in the second to Swisher but escaped
further damage when Ibanez grounded out and Brett Gardner popped up to left
field. The right-hander worked through another tight spot in the fourth after
walking Rodriguez and giving up a double to Teixeira, this time getting
Swisher to pop up to third base and Ibanez to fly to center field.
兩次可惜的得點圈機會:
1. Swisher在一出局時敲出二安, 但Ibanez滾地出局 + Gardner小飛球出局
2. 啊肉保送, 鐵爺二安, 但Swisher三壘方向小飛球出局, Ibanez中外野飛球出局

Rodriguez doubled with two outs in the sixth. After walking Teixeira,
Hellickson struck Swisher to escape the jam and then didn't allow another
runner until walking Swisher with two outs in the ninth.
第六局啊肉在兩出局後擊出二安, 但保送了鐵爺後, Swisher被三振, 此後在第九局
兩出局保送Swisher之前光芒再也沒讓洋基上壘

"That was very impressive," Pena said of Hellickson's performance. "He was
just so calm the whole time. That's something that should never be
overlooked. He's just a kid out there, and just handled the spotlight, the
pressure, whatever you want to call it, in such a way that is just amazing."
Rodney retired Ibanez on an easy comebacker to end it.
Pena說Hellickson的表現真是令人驚艷, 還只是個孩子的他總是那樣冷靜, 卻掌握了
所有的目光跟壓力, 不管你會怎樣形容, 但真的是太棒了!

"Everything they did worked out perfectly," Rodriguez said. "Everything we
did worked out imperfectly."
啊肉說光芒打的太出色了, 而我們卻做的不好

Pena hit a grand slam off CC Sabathia and a game-winning single off Mariano
Rivera in the opener. The slugger had another RBI single in Saturday's 8-6
victory and finished the series 6 for 12 with two homers and seven RBIs.
光芒洋基開幕三連戰, Pena的表現:
1. 從CC手上敲出滿貫砲 + MO手中敲出帶有勝利打點的一安
2. 第二場光芒8:6贏球時, 有一分打點的一安
3. 這一場二壘打 + 陽春砲
總計三場下來, Pena在12打席有6安, 包括2支全壘打跟7分打點

Hughes allowed two runs and five hits, walked two and struck out five over 4
2-3 innings. Logan and three other relievers kept the Yankees in the game by
holding the Rays to two hits the rest of the way.
Hugh今天投了4又2/3局, 責失2分5安打, 2保送5三振, 其他牛棚隊友之後只讓光芒
再擊出兩支安打

While no one is about to panic, Rodriguez said the Yankees will carry a sense
of urgency into a series that begins Monday night in Baltimore.
"You just want to win a game. Want to get this thing to 1-3 and get the train
headed in the right direction," he said.
然而沒有人會緊張, 所以啊肉說下一系列戰到巴爾迪摩時大家要"盯金"些, 要贏球,
要讓球隊往正確的方向走

"Guys are playing hard. Offensively, we're hitting balls. Probably a dozen
balls right on the nose that were caught," Rodriguez added. "We're hitting it
right into the teeth of their secondary. Sometimes you just have to tip your
cap and move on."
啊肉: 大家都很努力在打球, 但令人沮喪的, 我們揮打了太多壞球, 連到鼻子這樣高
的壞球都在揮, 球又都飛到對方的手套, 悶啊~  但這時候就別想太多, 對外面的批評
聲浪摸摸帽子"謝謝指教", 然後努力接下來的賽事吧!
