mug
上原浩治投手は、またもや惨敗です。本文のmugは、何故だか「カップ」のイメージが強い単語ですが、この場合は「襲う」(『リーダーズ英和辞典』)という意味です。本文に即して訳すと、with 5-run 9th とセットで「9回に5点を浴びせる」という意味になると思います。(Kawada)
Mariners mug Uehara with 5-run 9th
BOSTON (AP)—Down to their final strike, the Seattle Mariners put a dramatic end to more than three years of futility at Fenway Park.
Austin Jackson hit a bases-loaded double with two outs in the ninth inning and Dustin Ackley followed with a two-run, bloop single as the Mariners rallied to score five times and beat the Boston Red Sox 5-3 on Friday night.
