Jeter is still the Yankees’ leadoff hitter, and he still needs six hits to reach the exclusive 3,000 hit club, a pursuit that continued Monday night against the Indians after a three-week hiatus.
In his first game back since he took himself out of a game at Yankee Stadium on June 13, Jeter went 0-for-4, reaching on an error in the first inning, flying out in the third, grounding out in the sixth, and lining out hard to shortstop in his final at-bat in the eighth.
Derek Jeter is 6 hits away from 3,000. ESPN has a ‘Jeter Meter’ to keep track of the milestone. We’ll make sure to keep you updated!
