Derek Jeter Ties History

Derek Jeter needs one more hit to pass Lou Gehrig as the all-time Yankees leader in career hits. That's because the current captain has had three hits so far this evening. The last, a first pitch fastball that he ripped past a diving Chris Richard (the 1st baseman was playing his first major league game in six years).

Jeter entered the game in an 0-12 skid, but laid down a perfect bunt single to open the 1st inning. After grounding out in his second at-bat, Jeter doubled to center to get within one hit of the Iron Horse.
