One out, bottom tenth, score tied at one, and he smacked one to deep right-center. Victor Martinez chugged all the way home. THAAAA Tigers ... WIN!
The virtual tie for first is thus maintained, with the makeup game win over T-Bay bookending the Indians' 1-0 win in New York.
Derek Jeter is six hits away from 3000, and fear #1 in NYC is that the magic moment will arrive after the current home stand ends, when the Yankees play the Cubs in Chicago this weekend.
If he's still short on Thursday, the series should be moved to Yankee Stadium. Derek Jeter is baseball, baseball is Derek Jeter, the Yankees are the only team that matters, and they didn't spend $2 billion on that stadium to have something like this happen on the road.
