CLEVELAND (AP)—Cliff Lee has a proven formula for success:
get two outs with one pitch.
Lee有着自己的胜利方程式:一球杀两个!
Lee became the AL’s first 17-game winner by pitching his third complete game,
and the Cleveland Indians turned four double plays in a 3-2 victory over the
Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
Lee成为美联首位17胜的投手。
“The guys made a lot of big plays behind me, Asdrubal (Cabrera) especially.
I’ve told him about it four times since the game ended,” said Lee, who won
for the sixth time in seven starts and lowered his ERA to 2.43.
Lee:我之所以能够在美联胜投榜上位，靠的全是兄弟们挺我。
我李可夫出来混靠的就是够强运，讲义气，还有兄弟们的支持!!
特别是二垒手卡布雷拉，他在我身后用手套构筑了一道铜墙铁壁般的防线!
赛后我起码跟他说了四次，你这小子真是好样的!
The Angels have baseball’s best record (75-45) and had scored 48 runs in their
last six games but could muster just eight hits and two runs against the left-h
ander.
天使有着全大联盟最佳的75胜，过去六场以每场8分的进度狂轰烂炸了快50分...
但他们闯不过 Lee 身后的铜墙铁壁，被双杀了四次而败下阵来。
“That might be the best lineup I’ve ever faced,” Lee said.
“They are in first place for a reason.”
Lee:这或许是我本季遭遇最强的先发打线(之前都挑软柿子吃捡了16胜真是不好意思喔.:p)
Lee (17-2) struck out six and moved closer to becoming Cleveland’s first 20-ga
me winner since Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry did it in 1974. He also has a shot
at giving Cleveland its second straight Cy Young Award winner. CC Sabathia, tra
ded to Milwaukee on July 7, won the award a year ago.
Lee想要把赛扬奖连续两年留在印地安人队....
“It’s too early to think of those things, but Cliff has had as good a year as
anybody,” Indians manager Eric Wedge. “He’s never wavered.”
总教练魏吉说:现在讲这些都还太早，不过今年的Lee状况绝佳!
The Indians turned double plays in four straight innings, including one started
by Lee. After walking Jeff Mathis in the fifth, Lee lunged off the mound to bac
khand a bunt by Figgins and throw to first to easily double off Mathis.
印地安人对上以快腿著称的天使队，却意外的在五六七八连续四个半局演出双杀!
五局上半，Figgins触击，Lee一个箭步冲下投手丘反手接杀，再传一垒完成双杀。
“With the ball in the air, I don’t know why the guy was running but I thank
him for that,” Lee said. “Maybe he thought it would drop. All I know is
that Figgins is so fast, I had to get off the mound and try to make a play.”
Lee:当那个球被点成小飞球时，我不知道为什么垒上的跑者会跑，但我很感谢他! XD
或许他以为我接不到那球，但不管他在想什么，我想的就是Figgins很快，
所以我要第一时间下投手丘接球才能杀掉他，要不然被点成内野安打就糟糕了!
In the sixth, Lee got Guerrero to hit into a double play. Then second baseman
Cabrera barehanded a ball on the shortstop side of the bag and threw to first
to retire Torii Hunter for the final out.
第六局，Lee让天使主砲 Guerrero 打出中间方向几乎穿出去的安打..
但二垒手 Cabrera 几乎捞过界跑到游击手那边硬生生把球拦了下来....
而且他是空手接的，所以才来得及杀掉一垒的跑者!
“I always play hard, but with Cliff I bear down more because I know he gets
groundballs,” Cabrera said through first-base coach Luis Rivera serving as
interpreter. “The barehand play, I practice that I lot.”
卡布雷拉:我打球总是很拼，但当Lee先发时我更是会爆发小宇宙!
空手接球是前辈 Vizquel 留下来的光荣传统，我平常练习就练过很多次了!
这是Lee本季第三场完投...
也让他一举以170.2局跟三场完投都晋升到美联第二的位置...
其中三场完投与Sabathia并列第二(C.C.到国联以后又拿了四场完投，国联第一)
同时他也是本季除了C.C跟Halladay以外唯一每场超过七局的先发投手!
