Unimpressed by the Tigers' young ace Justin Verlander, the Yankees
staked Chien-Ming Wang to a 5-0 lead in the third inning last
night, but the Yankee sinkerballer couldn't hold it, giving back
three in the fourth and loading the bases with no outs to start the
fifth. Though a Jason Giambi solo home run had increased the Yankee
lead to 6-3, Joe Torre had seen enough, Yanking Wang in favor of
rookie Darrell Rasner.

老虎的年輕王牌 Justin Verlander 沒讓人留下深刻印象，昨晚的比賽洋基
在頭三局給了王建民五比零的領先，但是洋基的滾地球製造者無法維持住，
在第四局丟三分並在第五局開始無人出局下塞成滿壘，雖然 Jason Giambi
的陽春彈把洋基的領先拉到六比三， Jor Torre 也已經看夠了，換下王，菜
鳥 Darrell Rasner 上陣 。

It was a hell of a position for Rasner to make his Yankee debut in,
and somewhat reminiscent of Torre bringing in a struggling and
homer-prone Javier Vazquez in a similar situation in the seventh
game of the 2004 ALCS. Indeed, Magglio Ordonez  laced Rasner's
first pitch into center to bring the Tigers within one, but Rasner
recovered to set the next three men down in order and preserve the
lead, finishing the inning by getting Omar Infante waiving at a
nasty breaking ball.

Rasner 得在如此惡劣的情況下展開在洋基的出道秀，這讓人聯想起在 2004
美聯冠軍賽第七戰 Torre 丟給易被打全壘打的 Javier Vazquez 相同的狀況。
固然， Magglio Ordonez  把 Rasner 的第一球打成中外野的鳥安使老虎添
得一分，但是 Rasner 回神後有條理的解決了接下來三名打者並保住領先，
以噁心的變化球使的 Omar Infante 拿香而結束這局。

The Yankees loaded the bases themselves with one out in the seventh
against fireballer Joel Zumaya, but because of the injuries to
Derek Jeter and Gary Sheffield, had Terrence Long and Miguel Cairo
due up. Long fouled out on the first pitch he saw and Cairo
grounded out to end the threat.

第七局面對火球男 Joel Zumaya 洋基造成滿壘，但由於 Derek Jeter 與
Gary Sheffield 因傷缺陣使的 Terrence Long 與 Miguel Cairo 得以上場
。Long 揮第一球打了個界外飛球出局而 Cairo 滾地出局結束劇場。

Scott Proctor and Fernando Rodney then traded pairs of scoreless
innings, leaving it up to Kyle Farnsworth to protect the Yankees'
one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth because Mariano Rivera--two
days after pitching three innings in a regular season game for the
first time since 1996, the third of which came with a five-run
lead--strained his back putting on his spikes before the game.

接下來 Scott Proctor 與 Fernando Rodney 交換了一對鴨蛋，九局下交給
Kyle Farnsworth 守住洋基的一分領先因為 Mariano Rivera ─兩天前投了
三局─而這是自從 1996 年例賽來的頭一遭，那其中三分之一是在五分領先
時上場─在賽前穿上釘鞋時背部感到僵硬。

Farnsworth was greeted by lead-off hitter Curtis Granderson, who
worked him over for nine pitches before flying out to left. Marcus
Thames did the same, but instead worked a walk, thanks in part to
the small strike zone of home-plate umpire Laz Diaz. Farnsworth
then got ahead of Ivan Rodriguez 0-2 on a called strike and a
checked swing only to have Rodriguez yank a ball out of the dirt
and into left field for a single pushing Thames to second. That man
Ordonez then poked Farnsworth's next pitch into right for an RBI
single, tying the game and pushing the winning run to second with
one out. Farnsworth then fell behind Carlos Guillen 3-1. Guillen
sent Farnsworth's 27th pitch of the inning into right to score
Rodriguez for the win, preventing a four-game Yankee sweep.

Farnsworth 被開路先鋒 Curtis Granderson 款待了一番，在他擊出左外野
飛球出局前使他投了超過九球。 Marcus Thames 如法炮製但是改以獲得保送
，有一部分要感謝主審 Laz Diaz 縮小的好球帶。 Farnsworth 接下來面對
Ivan Rodriguez 以兩顆好球取得球數上的領先，一個嘗試性的揮擊讓
Rodriguez 把球拉成左外野的安打讓 Thames 推進至二壘， Ordonez 接著把
Farnsworth 的下一球擊成右外野一支帶有打點的安打，追平比數並把制勝分
推到二壘此時一出局。 Farnsworth 以一好三壞落後 Carlos Guillen。
Guillen 把 Farnsworth 這局的第二十七球送到外野讓 Rodriguez 得到逆轉
分，避免被洋基橫掃四場。

Hey, tough knocks. Whatchugonnado? The Yankees have bigger problems
than taking three of four from the team with the best record in the
majors. Gary Sheffield has a torn ligament and a dislocating tendon
in his left wrist that, if it doesn't respond to a few weeks of
therapy, will require surgery that could keep the Yankee right
fielder out for the remainder of the season. Derek Jeter was
useless in Tuesday's game after jamming a finger on Monday and
hasn't played the last two days. The severity of Rivera's back
problems is unknown, and Johnny Damon and Jorge Posada are both
playing hurt, the latter's torn hamstring tendon costing the
Yankees a crucial run in the seventh last night when Jorge was
unable to score from second on an Andy Phillips single and was
instead stranded at third by Long and Cairo.

嘿，糟糕的挫折。還能怎麼辦？洋基有著比從聯盟最佳戰績的隊伍裡拿到三
勝一負還大的問題。Gary Sheffield 的左腕韌帶撕裂與腱脫臼，如果在幾週
的治療仍沒好轉的話，將會需要手術，使得這位洋基的右外野手本季就到此
為止。 Derek Jeter 於週一弄傷手指後在週四的比賽中也毫無表現─他已至
少兩天沒有出賽。Rivera 背的問題精確的來說仍不清楚，Johnny Damon 與
Jorge Posada 都是帶傷上陣，後者的肌腱撕裂傷讓洋基付出在昨晚第七局
無法得到重要的一分的代價，當時 Jorge 無法在 Andy Phillips 擊出安打
時由二壘回來得分， 卻在 Long 跟 Cairo 打擊後擱淺在三壘上。

The good news is that Damon, whose foot injury has finally been
identified as a broken sesamoid bone in his right foot, is feeling
better after sitting out Tuesday and Wednesday and that Jeter is
expected to play against the Orioles tonight. In addition, Shawn
Chacon's rehab remains on schedule with him set to make a rehab
start with the Trendon Thunder on Sunday and, if all goes well
then, return from the DL to start on Thursday. The Yankees are also
hoping Octavio Dotel will be ready to join the team a week later
following a minor league rehab assignment that's expected to begin
next week.

好消息是 Damon 腳傷終於證實是右腳上有芝麻形的碎骨，他在周二跟週三的
休兵後已覺得好多了而 Jeter 被預期能出席今晚對金鶯的比賽。另外，
Shawn Chacon 持續復健中，按計畫將在周日於 Trendon Thunder (2A) 的
復建賽中出場，如果一切順利將在週四從傷兵名單中回來出賽。洋基也希望
Octavio Dotel 已準備好加入整週於小聯盟的復建賽，那將會在下週開始。

Oh, and Bubba Crosby's recovery from his hamstring injury has been
slower than expected. He's now expected back next weekend, which is
at least good news for Kevin Thompson.

喔，還有 Bubba Crosby 腿筋拉傷的回復比預期的慢，現在他被預期會
在下週末回來，那至少對 Kevin Thompson 是好消息
