NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter seems to be trying to will the New York Yankees into the playoffs against the mighty odds. Cheap Nike Air Max 95 Online . Fans holding laudatory signs started showing up at Yankee Stadium when the gates opened at 4 p.m. Monday, an hour early in order to give them a chance to watch the New York captain take batting practice. They serenaded him with chants of his name throughout the ninth inning. And in between they burst into ovations when the 40-year-old continued his late-season renaissance with a two-run double and a run-scoring grounder for his first three-RBI game in two years. Jeters offence backed a one-hitter from Michael Pineda and three relievers in a 5-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles that gave New York a tiny bit more belief. "You continue to play, and you continue to fight until youre out of games. Thats all you can do," Jeter said. "Im well aware of the situation that were in." Likely to miss consecutive postseasons for the first time since 1992 and 93, New York closed within four games of the second AL wild card but must overtake three teams to reach the playoffs. The Yankees have just six games left -- three more at home against Baltimore and three at Boston. "We have to pretty much win out," manager Joe Girardi said. "But you never know. Strange things happen in sports. Weve seen it. Weve seen people that were 10 games back come back in a months time and find a way to get in the playoffs on the last day. Crazy things happen." About 200 fans were on hand when Jeter walked out of the dugout for the first hitting group at about 4:15 p.m. The crowd of 35,614 stood each time late public address announcer Bob Sheppards recording introduced the Yankees last player to wear a single-digit uniform number, and fans remained on their feet throughout each at-bat taking photographs and video. "Its been awesome. Its what Ill remember most from this season," Jeter said. "Its whats made this homestand extremely fun, was getting an opportunity to play in front of these fans and the way that theyve reacted." Jeter went 1 for 3 with a walk, hitting a deep flyout, a run-scoring groundout that made it 2-0 in the third and a double down the left-field line on the eighth pitch of his at-bat against Wei-Yin Chen (16-5) in the fifth. Jeter is 9 for 20 with three doubles, a home run and six RBIs on this final homestand, raising his batting average seven points to .256. "Careers only last so long, especially athletic careers. Im well aware of that," Jeter said. "Ive come to grips with this is the last season." Jose Pirela was a vibrant counterpoint, displaying the exuberance of a debutante when he became New Yorks first player in 33 years to triple in his first big league at-bat. The Yankees team-record 57th player this season, Pirela went 2 for 3 with the go-ahead RBI. "Its fun to see guys so excited when they get their career first hit," Jeter said. Pineda (4-5) retired his first 13 batters before J.J. Hardy singled sharply to left field. The right-hander struck out eight and walked one in 7 1-3 innings, lowering his ERA to 1.93. Pineda got some rare offensive support from the Yankees, who had scored 19 runs in his previous 15 big league starts, and was given defensive help by second baseman Stephen Drew, who made a diving stop on Alejandro De Azas first-inning grounder. Shawn Kelley, Rich Hill and David Phelps finished as Baltimore was held to one hit for the third time this season. Pirela, a 24-year-old who spent 731 games in the minors over seven seasons, made his major league debut in the third as a designated hitter. He worked the count to 1-1 and drove a changeup on one hop to the wall in left-centre. Pirela ran so hard he stumbled after rounding both first base and second, then slid headfirst into third. He pounded the ground with his right arm, popped up and clapped five times. The previous Yankees player to triple in his first at-bat was Steve Balboni against Detroit on April 22, 1981. "When I saw the lineup I felt so excited," a beaming Pirela said. Ichiro Suzuki, who had reached on third baseman Ryan Flahertys throwing error, scored from first. Pirela hit an opposite-field single to right in the fifth and advanced on Brett Gardners walk ahead of Jeters double. Chase Headley added a solo homer into Monument Park in the eighth off Ryan Webb. When it was done, Jeter didnt want to think about what it would take this week to reach the playoffs. "We need to win tomorrow," he said. "Cant look that far in advance."

Against the Houston Astros, they werent alone in making things happen. Martin and Andrus each scored three runs for AL West-leading Texas, including twice each in an 11-run inning that was the biggest in the majors this season, in a 16-5 victory Monday night. "We went up and down the lineup," manager Ron Washington said. "When we can do that is when we can be at our best." Martin got the Rangers big third inning started with his majors-leading 11th bunt single before a single by Andrus. The top two hitters in the lineup came home on a single by A.J. Pierzynski, and both got on base and scored again before the Astros finally got the third out. "Any time we can get those guys on base obviously it usually leads to runs," Pierzynski said. "Leonys has been doing a great job, and Elvis hitting behind him, hitting-and-running, putting pressure on the other team. Thats fun. Thats the way baseball is supposed to be." All nine Rangers scored in the third, when they sent 15 batters to the plate and had seven hits — six singles and a double — along with three walks, two Houston errors and a sacrifice bunt. Only five of the 11 runs were earned. The last team in the majors with as many runs in an inning was St. Louis, with a 12-run seventh in a 12-0 win over the Chicago Cubs on July 21, 2012. Texas last 11-run inning was in the fifth of a 15-3 win at home against Tampa Bay on Sept. 26, 2009. The Rangers have won 12 of their last 13 games against Houston (41-83), the first-year American League team now 30 1/2 games back in the division. Martin, in his 19th start as the leadoff hitter, had an infield single to start the Texas first before Andrus had a single on a perfectly executed hit-and-run play. Ian Kinsler had a sac fly and Adrian Beltre got his first intentional walk of the game before a double steal. Andrus swiped home for a 2-0 lead. "Every time we get on base, put ourselves in scoring position, it makes things easier," Andrus said. Matt Garza (3-1) struck out eight in 6 2-3 innings. But the right-hander allowed five runs, becoming the first Texas starter in 22 games to allow more than four. Lucas Harrell (6-14), getting another start after four consecutive relief appearances, allowed nine runs (seven earned) in 2 1-3 innings. He was initially sent to the bullpen after also giving up nine runs in 3 2-3 innings at Texas in a 10-5 loss July 5. Texas finished with a season high for runs, two nights after a 15-3 victory over Seattle thhat is its highest-scoring game without a home run in the 20 seasons of Rangers Ballpark. Cheap Wholesale Nike Air Max 95. Texas had 15 runs without a homer again before Pierzynski connected in the seventh off reliever Philip Humber, who last season threw a perfect game for the Chicago White Sox with Pierzynski as his catcher. Pierzynski finished with four hits and four RBIs. After Martin and Andrus got the third started, Kinsler had a sac bunt before Adrian Beltre, hitting .437 over the previous 19 games, got his second intentional pass. Singles by Pierzynski and Alex Rios re-loaded the bases, Mitch Moreland hit a two-run doubled to deep centre and Jurickson Profar walked to load the bases again, and end Harrells night. Wade LeBlanc, recalled by Houston earlier Monday, got David Murphy to hit a grounder. Second baseman Jose Altuve made a nifty stop going toward the middle of the infield and flipped the ball with his glove, only for shortstop Jonathan Villar to drop it and allow two runs to score. Martin then walked and Andrus reached on an error before Kinslers two-run single. Pierzynski drove in another run with a single to cap the scoring. Astros infielder Jake Elmore, who made his first major league appearance at catcher when taking over in the fourth after Carlos Corporan got hit by a foul ball, later pitched a 1-2-3 eighth. Elmore was the only of four Houston pitchers with a scoreless outing. "They told me early in the game that I was going to pitch because the game was out of hand. I was expecting that, but out of nowhere (Corporan) got hurt. I had told them I could catch like 2 weeks ago," Elmore said. "Ive never done both in the same game." Houston was within 2-1 when Jason Castro and Chris Carter had consecutive doubles to start the second. The Astros then fell behind 15-1 before scoring four times in the seventh. "Its real simple, we didnt play well," manager Bo Porter said. "Weve got to let this one go." Notes: The Rangers have stolen home 29 times in team history.
