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.
在加拿大政府官員否決多倫多藍鳥隊在自家主場Rogers Centre的方案後,最新的
發展是藍鳥很有可能在匹茲堡的PNC Park舉辦他們絕大多數的主場球賽。
An official announcement is pending approval from the State of Pennsylvania,
according to SportsNet, which first reported the news.
不過,根據加國運動媒體SportsNet的報導︰這項提案仍要經過賓州(匹茲堡的上屬
州)政府的批准,球隊與聯盟才能正式發布此消息。
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.
加拿大政府不允許藍鳥隊在多倫多舉辦比賽,是考量例行賽程會讓球隊需要在美國
各地往返—而這也是目前新冠肺炎(AKA武漢肺炎與COVID-19)確診病例上升最多的
國家之一。與此同時,大聯盟其他29隻位在美國本土的球隊,即使受到疫情影響而
縮短賽程,仍然將在各自的主球場舉辦各隊60場,且不開放球迷入場的例行賽。
Toronto begins the season at Tampa Bay on Friday.
藍鳥隊將在美國時間本周五,於坦帕灣展開今年的新賽季。
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
