How many times have we seen this before?
With his team in desperate need of a big hit, Derek Jeter delivered a two-out single in the top of the ninth, providing the go-ahead run as the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 at Tropicana Field.
"I told you our season wasn't over after two games," said Jeter, who went 2-for-4 with a double.
The hit ensured that the Yankees would finish with a winning record during a nine-game road trip to start the season. Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer and Johnny Damon collected two hits in his return from illness.
The Yankees' excursion began with back-to-back losses at Baltimore but ended with back-to-back victories in St. Pete. With a 5-4 record, the Yankees come home to inaugurate the new Yankee Stadium on Thursday.
