It registered as the second-longest homer in the Bronx this season, according to ESPN - falling short of Francisco Cervelli's leading homer by one foot. 7, a 443-foot bomb over the left-center field bullpen at Yankee Stadium.
Jeter was on the field when Bogaerts hit his first major-league home run on Sept. He seems like he has a bright future." Jeter's sample size of Bogaerts has indeed been small, but the Yankees captain was a witness to the shot. "You know, they'd say because we were a little bit taller - and then there was a wave of guys who came up who were pretty tall.
I didn't see him a lot." Jeter heard those height questions himself. But he's been pretty impressive from what I saw. "Well, if he was short, they'd say there's questions because he's short. "There's questions because he's tall?" Jeter said. The rookie looked great at third base again on Sunday, starting for Will Middlebrooks, who has the flu. Jeter and Bogaerts are both listed at 6-foot-3, and Bogaerts has faced questions already about just what his long-term position is: shortstop, or is he too tall? The Red Sox fully believe in Bogaerts at shortstop, although that doesn't mean down the road he couldn't switch positions. Is he mainly a shortstop?" Another great question. He's swinging the bat pretty good, he's playing great defense. "I don't remember when I was 20-years old. "Twenty-years old?" Jeter, 39, said with a smile. Breslow got the dangerous Adam Jones on another grounder to short, then retired Nick Markakis on a fly ball to center.ĭerek Jeter took a momentary pause Sunday night after asking a reporter how old Xander Bogaerts is. He retired Chris Davis, who earlier had hit his Orioles record-setting 51st home run, on a ground ball to short. Brandon Workman, who pitched an effective seventh, allowed a single to Nate McLouth and a double to Manny Machado. One of the most impressive aspects of the game for the Red Sox was Craig Breslow getting out of a second-and-third, nobody-out jam in the eighth. Matt Wieters hit a sacrifice fly to right to score pinch runner Alexi Casilla. His streak of retiring 37 consecutive batters came to an end, as did his 30.1 inning scoreless streak, when he allowed a Danny Valencia leadoff triple over Shane Victorino's head and off the tip of his glove. It was a shocking loss with Koji Uehara allowing the Orioles the go-ahead run in the ninth inning of a 2-2 game. The Red Sox, whose magic number to clinch the American League East is now 3, ended a three-game winning streak. Had the Red Sox won Tuesday night at Fenway Park, rather than lost to the Orioles, 3-2, and had the Indians lost, the Sox would have acknowledged making the playoffs but wouldn't have gone crazy.
