Yanks roar to G1 win behind Cole, 4 homers
这篇EXTRA将详细品一下这新闻开头中用法很生动的词.....
Gerrit Cole reached back for his hardest fastball of the year, 100.1 mph of fire sizzling past Manuel Margot to pin the bases loaded in the fifth inning.
[Gerrit Cole] [reached back for] [his hardest fastball [of the year]], [[100.1 mph [of fire sizzling]] [past] [Manuel Margot] [to pin the bases loaded [in the fifth inning]] ] .
reached back for，本义是伸手去拿，可引申为触手可及的距离。进一步可以理解为Cole 轻松的 投出100mph（约160km/h）的快速球。
sizzle，火烧的嘶嘶声， fire sizzling用现在分词放在fire的后面组成短语，一起修饰前面的100mph的快速球，可以理解为冒着熊熊烈火的球，强调this ball实在投得太快啦。
后面的“past Manuel Margot” 和 “to pin the bases loaded”，past仍然是指通过了这个人（放在语境中的意思是，这个人没办法打中如此快的球，只能让这个球通过，从而出局）。pin的意思是大头针;钉住，而“钉住”在垒包上的人（the bases loaded）可以理解为使对方球队没办法得分。
所以这句话应翻译为：Gerrit Cole轻松拿出它今年最快的，时速100.1mph的火球解决了Manuel Margot，从而让对手在第5局没得分。
The Yankees’ ace danced off the mound, unleashing a primal scream that could be heard six stories above the playing field at Petco Park.
[The Yankees’ ace] [danced off] [the mound], [unleashing a primal scream [that [could be] [heard] [six stories] [above the [playing] field [at Petco Park]]]].
danced off，跳起来。同义词有jump up, leap up, spurt, spray？都不如dance这种有画面感。
unleash，使自由,释放。用释放的方式来尖叫，说明这叫声是在压力下蓄力后的结果。
ace指王牌，The Yankees’ ace -- 洋基队的王牌选手，也就是前一句话的Cole从土堆（棒球术语：投手丘）上跳起来，然后大声尖叫。primal scream，primal是原始的，最原始的叫声大概是大家的婴儿时期吧，所以它的意思引申为尽情叫喊。
这句话有趣在后面的that，“could be heard six stories”，stories不是故事的复数，而是storey（楼层），Cole的叫声连6楼都可以听到，“above the playing field at Petco Park”，在他们比赛的球场，足矣证明其激动程度（肺活量之大）。
所以这句话可理解为：这位洋基的王牌从投手丘上跳起来，尽情大叫起来，其声音在运动场上方的六个楼层都可以听到。
These were the types of moments envisioned when Cole was touted as the sport’s most celebrated free-agent pitcher, and thus far, he has delivered.
[These] [were] [[the types of moments] [envisioned when [[Cole] [was touted] [as the sport’s most celebrated free-agent pitcher]]]], [and thus far], [he has delivered].
tout 兜售; 招揽; 侦查
这种类型的时刻就是Cole被兜售（理解为吹捧更为合适），被吹捧做为这项运动中最著名的的自由球员所期望的时刻，迄今为止，他做到了。这句话前面一大堆，最后简洁有力的结尾。
