Derek Ties Lou as Yanks Sweep Jays

Derek Sanderson Jeter had a pretty amazing night. Joba was off to another tough start giving up a lead off homer and another run to start the first. With one out, Eiland came out of the dugout and he, Molina and Jeter converged on the mound. Eiland said something that Jeter visibly barked a few things at Joba, and thereafter Joba retired the next 8 hitters he faced in his latest 3 inning start. Jeter wasn't done in the first. He bunted for a base hit, to draw within two of Gehrig, then stole his 300th career base. He ended up going 3 for 4 with a double and a walk to tie Lou Gehrig with 2721 Yankee hits.

But it didn't look like Derek would enjoy the game at all as the Yanks were still down 2-0 to star the 8th. But, ARod lead off with a single and went to third on Matsui's single, the scored when Swisher hit into a fielder's choice that lead to an error. Down 1, Cano K'd with runners on the corners, then Jorge Posada, pinch hitting for Brett Gardner crushed a three run jack to put the Yanks up 4-2 and deliver yet another win. The Yanks are now 91-50 and are 41 games over .500 for the first time in 5 years. Off day tomorrow, then Jeter will get a shot to break the record against Baltimore on Friday. Go Yanks!
