Jeter hits 250th HR to lead Yanks over Red Sox 6-4

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter stood by his locker and smiled with satisfaction. He hit his 250th home run, and it helped the New York Yankees pick up a win. Over the Boston Red Sox.

”I always see all the time: He doesn’t hit home runs. Blah, blah, blah,” he said. ”I think it’s a lot. I’ll take it.”

Jeter hit a tying drive in the fifth inning, one of five solo home runs by the Yankees that backed Phil Hughes in Friday night’s lightning-filled 6-4 victory.

Willie Mays and Jeter are the only players with 3,000 hits, 250 homers, 300 steals and 1,200 RBIs.
