Six up-and-down innings and three runs are not exactly what the Yankees are accustomed to seeing from their ace, Chien-Ming Wang. But after the right-hander had allowed 13 runs in his last two starts, yesterday was definitely an improvement. 對於洋基的ACE-小王來說,六局失3分並不算是特別好的表現, 但是比較之前兩次先發丟掉13分狀況,算是有明顯的進步了 "Today: more control, I threw more strikes," said Wang, who improved to 14-6 with the win yesterday. "控球變好了,好球變多了"小王說 Wang's main problem yesterday wasn't that his sinker was up in the zone, like in his previous starts. This time his trouble came whenever the speedy Tigers baserunners started making his life complicated. Wang had a balk and two wild pitches yesterday, and the Tigers executed a double-steal on him in the fifth inning. One of the wild pitches let Gary Sheffield score from third in that inning. 這次問題不在伸卡投高了,而是老虎的速度壓迫到他,使他昨天發生 一次投手犯規和兩次暴投,而且在五局時還被雙盜壘成功,有一次暴 投還讓老薛回來得分 "He gets too much on his plate," manager Joe Torre said. "I think he needs to get back where he was going after people. His stuff was good, he's got the ability to pitch, but there are certain things that he concerns himself with that I think interfere." "他想太多了"托瑞說,"我想他需要找回過去的他,他有好的資質,也有 投球的天份,但是就是心態的問題" Wang admitted that the Tigers disrupted his timing a bit, and that he was thinking about the runners on base too much. But he was pleased with throwing more sliders than usual yesterday, mixing in the off-speed pitch with his customary sinker. 老虎的球員成功干擾了小王的投球節奏,他太在意壘上的跑者了, 但是他昨天投了不少滑球,和他的伸卡球搭配的很好 "It's not really mental; it just sort of splits your concentration, and it doesn't help either side of it," Torre said. "He's fine, he's working on it." "這不僅僅是心態的問題,而是種專注力的喪失"老托說, "他很好,他一直在努力求進步" Johnny Damon came into yesterday's game just 2-for-10 on the homestand, but he went 3-for-4 yesterday with a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning to put the Yankees up for good. 囧尼之前的打擊只有2-10的表現,但是昨天卻有3-4且帶有一支陽春砲, 帶領洋基贏了勝利 His upper-deck shot to right off Jeremy Bonderman, Torre said, changed the whole game because it made him bring out Joba Chamberlain to face the heart of the order in the seventh inning instead of sending out Wang again. 他的驚天一擊帶動了贏球的氣氛,而在第七局推出張小克出來守成, 而不是在讓小王續投 Despite seeing limited action due to Melky Cabrera taking over the center-field job and Jason Giambi providing another DH option, Damon said he wanted to show he could still come through in clutch situations. 小卡布搶走中外野,再加上大吉佔走DH,囧尼說他想要抓住表現的機會 "I obviously want to be in there as much as possible, and getting some at-bats I tend to find my groove a bit more," Damon said, adding, "I've got a track record of going out there and getting the job done." "我盡可能的想要得到位置和多一些機會打擊,我試著慢慢地找回過去的手感" "我想可以有固定的先發,且做好場上應該要做的事"囧尼說 Derek Jeter did not start yesterday for only the fourth time this season, and got the entire day off for just the second of the team's 124 games. 基特在本季第四次沒有先發上場 "The season catches up on with a lot of guys," Torre said. "We're just trying to be vigilant there and just try to take care of them before they have a problem." "這孩子對於我們還保有機會有很大的貢獻"老托說 "我們只能警惕他,還有關心他到底發生什麼問題" With yesterday's win, Torre tied Casey Stengel for 1,149 career victories as a Yankee manager, second most of all time. 加上昨天的勝利,老托在洋基得到1149勝,和Casey Stengel並列第二 "I'm probably more excited about what's going on with our club than that, " Torre said. "If you asked me that a couple months ago I'd say it was in the distant, distant future since we weren't winning games. But anytime that someone you respected growing up, and suddenly there you are in his company, you have to be impressed. I'm certainly impressed being spoken about in the same way or for the same reason." "我對最近球隊的轉變很高興"老托說 反正就是說他覺得有心要進步就會變好,他對最近的表現印象深刻 Joe McCarthy is first on the list with 1,460 wins. Joe McCarthy生涯有1460勝 --
