Home plate umpire Lance Barksdale, despite objections from the Rays, said the tone beaten Jeter and awarded the captain of the Yankees first base. Center fielder Curtis Granderson followed with his homer number 18 to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead.
Tampa Bay, Joe Maddon argued unsuccessfully that the ball hit bat Jeter, eventually drawing an ejection Barksdale.
Jeter, who was bent while receiving the attention of a coach, confessed that the ball hit the end of his bat and sold the call to Barksdale with a good quality work.
