[新聞] Igawa's struggles continue in loss

[linker0726 (哀..煩阿)]

快速翻譯一下

KANSAS CITY -- The Yankees' plan to continue using their fifth starter, which
means that Kei Igawa could have one more chance to impress. He didn't take
advantage Thursday.

井川慶的補考不及格

With top prospect Phil Hughes gaining steam in his rehab and nearing a
projected return, Igawa struggled yet again, allowing five runs to the Kansas
City Royals as the Yankees fell Thursday at Kauffman Stadium, 7-0, ending a
six-game winning streak.

大帝快回來了  而井川又搞砸了

"I haven't been able to make gains, and that's very frustrating," Igawa said.
"I have to look at this and move forward."

井川很沮喪

Alex Rodriguez went homereless, remaining at No. 499 for his career.

A-ROD NO.500還沒出來

Igawa has a 6.79 ERA in 11 starts and one relief appearance for the Yankees,
and said that a major part of his struggles has stemmed from not learning
hitters quickly enough.


A $46 million investment who signed a five-year deal with the Yankees in
January, Igawa's progression has been slow. Though he shows flashes of
confidence and competence, he also runs into rocky patches that seem to undo
all the good he exhibits.

5年4千6百萬 目前為止他還沒有值這個價錢

"It's teasing," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "You know he's trying and
working hard at it. He's very serious-minded about what he does. He pitches
well enough to think it's coming, and something just gets out of hand. That's
the tough part."

托瑞場面話

Igawa, who would next start Wednesday vs. Chicago, was hurt most by a
four-run second inning. The frame featured hanging pitches that became RBI
triples to Mark Grudzielanek and Tony Pena Jr., plus a two-run double by
center fielder David DeJesus.

The Royals sent eight men to the plate in the inning against Igawa, who also
surrendered an RBI double to Pena in the fifth on what was the left-hander's
102nd and final pitch.

"He's missing some spots," Torre said. "I thought he settled in a little bit
better, but I still think -- even though I think he improved -- it's all
about command. His stuff is good; he just needs to command it. I still think
he's going forward."

托瑞看來對井川還有信心...

Igawa walked two and struck out five, hitting a batter and throwing a wild
pitch. Returning from a strained left hamstring and a sprained left ankle,
Hughes made his fifth rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on
Monday, throwing six scoreless innings, but Torre said the organization is
leaning toward having Hughes make one more start in the Minor Leagues.

大帝還會再一次復健賽

"It's what [player development] people are comfortable with," Torre said. "If
that's the case, that's it. Those are the people that see him, and I think
it's important to stay with that, especially this close to his being ready."

Reliever Sean Henn, the Yankees' 13th pitcher and a likely candidate to be
sent back to Triple-A when the club adds a position player, allowed an RBI
double to Billy Butler in the seventh and Alex Gordon's seventh home run, a
solo shot, in the eighth.

Sean Henn 會被送回3A

The Yankees couldn't muster much against Royals starter Jorge De La Rosa, who
scattered six hits over 5 1/3 innings before yielding a jam to reliever Zack
Greinke, who escaped by coaxing Jose Molina to ground into a double play.

摸二哥的強勁滾地球被沒收  還被DP

De La Rosa surrendered Rodriguez's 400th home run June 8, 2005, while
pitching for the Brewers. With Rodriguez now sitting on 499, thousands of
flashbulbs accompanied Rodriguez's first at-bat and seemed to indicate that a
sellout crowd of 37,036 expected to witness even more history.

De La Rosa沒創史上唯一被轟 NO 400跟 500的紀錄

"Honestly, it's remarkable," Rodriguez said. "I wasn't even thinking about
it. I don't even think about it at all, except that first at-bat. I've never
seen more flashbulbs in one of my at-bats."

The Royals had other ideas for Rodriguez, who went 0-for-2 and was hit by an
errant curveball on his back foot. Kansas City elected to walk Rodriguez with
first and second bases open and two outs, pitching to Hideki Matsui instead.
Matsui popped out to end the inning, and A-Rod said that he did not believe
the maneuver had anything to do with stopping a chance at hitting No. 500.

皇家對A-ROD的對策  敬遠 觸身各一次
"[Royals manager] Buddy Bell is a great baseball man and he wants to win a
game," Rodriguez said. "He thought the best way to win a game was to put me
on base."

The strategy worked, and the trend would be a lingering one for the Yankees,
who fared 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position, including Matsui also
grounding out with the bases loaded in the fifth.

"We got [De La Rosa's] pitch count up early enough, and when we had the
opportunity to do some damage, he was better than we were," Torre said.

Playing his first game after being traded by the Angels on Saturday, catcher
Molina had hits in his first two at-bats but grounded into the inning-ending
double play in the sixth, wasting a two-on, one-out opportunity.

摸二哥打擊還不錯

以下是Pena的故事

The Yankees were also done in by the son of one of their own, as first-base
coach Tony Pena watched his son stroke a double and triple with two RBIs and
a run scored for Kansas City. Torre said that he knew Pena was "smiling on
the inside, but he's not allowed to do it on the outside."

"It was fun to see him play, I want you to know that," Pena said. "To see the
way he goes out, the attitude he brings to the field ... I was very
impressed."

The younger Pena also achieved a milestone of sorts in the eighth inning when
he worked a walk off Henn, the 26-year-old's first walk in 244 plate
appearances since May 5 vs. Detroit.

"I really don't worry about walks, because I didn't walk either," the elder
Pena said. "We didn't walk off the island."

The Yankees have won 12 of 16 since the All-Star break, but fell 7 1/2 games
off the American League East pace with Boston's victory at Cleveland on
Thursday. New York remains 4 1/2 back of the Indians in the AL Wild Card race.
