JETER HOMERS IN YANKS WIN

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Derek Jeter homered and made a highlight-reel

play at shortstop in the sixth inning to lift the New York Yankees

to a 1-0 victory Wednesday over the Minnesota Twins in the

completion of a game halted by rain the night before.

The Yankees and Twins had to push the pause button Tuesday after

a thunderstorm forced an 83-minute delay and then suspension of a

scoreless game after the fifth.

Their regularly scheduled matchup was still on tap for Wednesday

night, about a half-hour after completion of this pitching duel

started by A.J. Burnett and Scott Baker the previous night and

picked up by the bullpens for both teams in the late-afternoon sun.

Let's play 1½? Well, this wasn't exactly what Ernie Banks had in

mind.
