Rivera places call to Torre and then goes long distance
(標題翻起來好奇怪，總之這是關於MO為何第8局就出現的花絮 Orz...）

Thursday, July 19th 2007, 4:00 AM

Joe Torre called on Mariano Rivera in the eighth inning last night,
but only after the closer had picked up the bullpen phone and told
Torre he was available for more than an inning of work.
托瑞昨晚第八局派出MO，那是因為MO在電話中告訴他自己可以負責超過一局。

"I certainly don't want to do that with Mo on a regular basis, but he
volunteered," Torre said. "We can't keep having the same people do the
job all the time."
托瑞說：「我當然不想在例行賽中對MO做那樣的調派，但他主動要求。我們實在不
該讓同一組人從頭到尾擔負重任。」

Rivera, the Yankees' sixth pitcher of the night, was summoned from bullpen
to preserve a 4-1 lead with two on and one out in the eighth. He eliminated
the threat, getting Reed Johnson to ground into a fielder's choice and
striking out Alex Rios. In the ninth, Rivera retired the heart of
the Blue Jays' lineup in order to finish off the Yankees' 6-1 victory
at the Stadium.
MO是洋基當晚的第六名投手，他在第八局上場，面對壘上有兩名跑者，只有一人出
局的局面，必須努力守住4比1的領先。他化解了危機，讓Reed Johnson滾地球出局，
又三振掉Alex Rios。到了第九局，MO讓藍鳥的中心打線一一出局，幫助洋基以6比1
贏得比賽。

"During the game, if something happened, I'll be there," Rivera said,
recalling his seventh-inning conversation with Torre. "We have to win
and you have to do whatever it takes to do that."
MO回想起第七局時和托瑞的對話，他當時說：「比賽進行時，一旦有任何狀況，我
就在這裡。我們一定要贏，而你要不計代價取得勝利。」
（大概是勸會長別想太多，要贏就讓他上吧。）

Rivera earned his 15th save and his fourth in the past five days. Last
night was the seventh time he has pitched more than one inning
this season, and the first time since July 7.
MO拿下第15次救援成功，也是過去5天裡的第4次。昨晚是他本季第7次單場超過
1局，也是7月7日以來的第一次。

"We don't want to (pitch more than one inning), but it happens," said Rivera.
MO說：「我們都不想投超過1局，但無可避免。」

The victory went to Mike Myers (1-0), who inherited a two-out, bases-loaded
situation in the seventh with Lyle Overbay at the plate and the Blue Jays
looking to build on their 1-0 lead. Myers induced a ground ball to first
base and became the pitcher of record when the Yankees scored four runs
in the bottom of the frame.
勝投則由Mike Myers收下。兩人出局且滿壘的第7局，Myers面對Lyle Overbay，
這是藍鳥拉大1分差比數的關鍵時刻。滾地球出局結束這個半局後，Myers靠著隊友
在下半局取得四分，拿到勝投。

"It was a huge out to keep it at 1-0," Myers said. "Our offense looked like
it was champing at the bit. At some point, I knew they'd break through. It
was just a matter of when."
Myers說：「那個出局數非常重要，必須讓比數維持在1比0，因為看起來我們似乎
只會以些微取勝。當然，在當下，我心裡知道他們會突破封鎖，只是時間早晚而已。」
