NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter extended his hitting streak to 25 games Saturday night, the longest for the New York Yankees since Joe Gordon's 29-game string in 1942.
Jeter went 1-for-5 in the opener of a day-night doubleheader, a 5-2 New York loss to Boston, then singled in the third inning of the night game against Julian Tavarez. Jeter began the day leading the AL in hitting at .346, just ahead of Minnesota's Joe Mauer
Joe DiMaggio set the major league record with a 56-game hitting streak for the Yankees in 1941.
