Abreu has successful debut in Yanks' win

阿布初登場成功幫助洋基贏球

Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) - After Bobby Abreu's patience paid off in his Yankees debut,
Bernie Williams came through with the big hit that put New York back into first
place for the first time since June.

阿布的耐心讓他上壘，接著伯尼安打得分，洋基也從六月後首次在美聯東區第一。

Abreu worked out a nine-pitch walk that loaded the bases in the fourth inning,
and Williams followed with a tiebreaking, three-run double that led New York
over the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 Tuesday night.

四局下，他賺得了九球的保送，造成滿壘。然後伯尼打出三分打點二壘安打。

"We're in a very good situation right now, coming into the last two months of
the season," Williams said.

With their sixth win in seven games, the Yankees (62-41) moved into the AL East
lead for the first time since before play on June 18, leading the Boston Red
Sox (63-42) in percentage by .602 to .600.

勝率超越紅襪。

"The only thing that means is we don't have to worry about other teams," Derek
Jeter said. "Now, if we play better than the rest of the division, we'll win."

「現在不需要擔心別的球隊。如果我們打得比分區內其他球隊好，就會贏。」基特說。

Abreu, acquired from Philadelphia on Sunday, batted fifth and started in right
field. He went 0-for-3, grounding out in the second, flying out in the sixth
and grounding out in the seventh.

With runners on second and third in the fourth inning following Alex
Rodriguez's tying double on a 3-0 pitch, Abreu came up with none out against
A.J. Burnett (2-5). Abreu fell behind in the count 0-2, then checked his swing
on a close pitch and took two more balls. He fouled off three pitches before
checking his swing on ball four.

"I guess the umpire saw me out there, so I think they know that sometimes I
take close pitches," Abreu said.

Toronto wasn't happy with the check swing calls by third base umpire Ed Hickox.

"They were able to lay off some very tough pitches with two strikes, and those
calls went their way," catcher Gregg Zaun said.

After Jorge Posada struck out, Williams drove a pitch to the opposite-field gap
over diving left fielder Reed Johnson for his 442nd double, tying Don Mattingly
for second on the Yankees' career list behind Lou Gehrig (535). Williams, who
re-signed with the Yankees to be a part-time player, has 46 RBIs this season.

伯尼的二壘安打數在洋基隊史上到達第二名。

"He basically understands that he's a role player right now," manager Joe Torre
said. "He's never been promised a starting job."

New York traded for Abreu to play right in the absence of Gary Sheffield, out
since wrist surgery in June. With Sheffield and left fielder Hideki Matsui (
broken wrist) hoping to return in September, Sheffield said before the game
that he wouldn't mind a shift to first base when he gets back.

Abreu's arrival, combined with the acquisition of first baseman-right fielder
Craig Wilson, is likely to cut Williams' playing time.

"I kidded with him, saying, 'You're probably not going to play anymore,"' Torre
said. "Then I basically told him he'd DH sometimes and play center field when
Johnny needs a break."

Williams was the designated hitter Tuesday and said he's willing to fill any
role.

"When everybody got hurt, it was a bonus for me," he said. "Hopefully, Joe will
have enough confidence in me to throw me out there in certain situations."

Abreu said cheers from the crowd of 52,237 made him feel at home. He had a busy
day in right field, catching six fly balls, including a warning-track drive by
Frank Catalanotto with two on and two outs in the seventh.

阿布說五萬多名觀眾的喝采聲讓他感覺賓至如歸。

Jaret Wright (7-6) won for the first time in three starts, allowing an RBI
double in the second to No. 9 hitter John McDonald. Wright lasted five innings
and 103 pitches on a hot, humid night, giving up five hits, striking out five
and walking one.

Ron Villone, Scott Proctor and Kyle Farnsworth followed with two-hit relief.
Rodriguez padded the lead with an RBI grounder in the seventh off Brandon
League.

Burnett, who had been 2-0 against the Yankees, allowed four hits but left after
a 40-pitch fourth inning pushed his pitch count to 86. He has lost four of his
last five decisions.

"He's really pitched pretty good for us, better than his record indicates,"
Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "But he's like anyone else, he's got to
throw strikes."


Notes
The Yankees limited use of their out-of-town scoreboard, video board and
televisions in the stadium to preserve energy during the heat wave. The
gametime temperature was 96. ... Toronto has lost five of six. ... Jason Giambi
started at first base but left after five innings because his right leg cramped
up. "I'm not built for this type of weather," he said. ... The Yankees are 21
games over .500 for the first time this season.

洋基場上沒有使用得分板觀看別的比賽計分，因為熱浪侵襲要節約能源。
