The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to play a majority of their home games at
PNC Park in Pittsburgh this season after federal officials in Canada refused
to let them host games at Rogers Centre, sources confirmed to ESPN.
在加拿大政府官员否决多伦多蓝鸟队在自家主场Rogers Centre的方案后,最新的
发展是蓝鸟很有可能在匹兹堡的PNC Park举办他们绝大多数的主场球赛。
An official announcement is pending approval from the State of Pennsylvania,
according to SportsNet, which first reported the news.
不过,根据加国运动媒体SportsNet的报导︰这项提案仍要经过宾州(匹兹堡的上属
州)政府的批准,球队与联盟才能正式发布此消息。
Canada's government denied the Blue Jays' request to play in Toronto because
the regular-season schedule would require frequent travel back and forth from
the United States, where COVID-19 cases are surging. The other 29 major
league teams plan to play the pandemic-shortened, 60-game season in their
home ballparks, without fans.
加拿大政府不允许蓝鸟队在多伦多举办比赛,是考量例行赛程会让球队需要在美国
各地往返—而这也是目前新冠肺炎(AKA武汉肺炎与COVID-19)确诊病例上升最多的
国家之一。与此同时,大联盟其他29只位在美国本土的球队,即使受到疫情影响而
缩短赛程,仍然将在各自的主球场举办各队60场,且不开放球迷入场的例行赛。
Toronto begins the season at Tampa Bay on Friday.
蓝鸟队将在美国时间本周五,于坦帕湾展开今年的新赛季。
The schedules for the Pirates and Blue Jays match up almost perfectly. Aside
from July 29, they don't have a home game on the same date until Sept. 7. The
Blue Jays are scheduled to host Washington
