Jeter within 4 hits of 3,000 club

CLEVELAND—Derek Jeter's bid for one of baseball's most hallowed milestones, the 3,000-hit club, a place none of the New York Yankees' other greats ever reached, is almost complete. It's right there, right in front of Jeter, the 37-year-old whose game may have faded but who remains one of the game's biggest stars.He'll get to 3,000. It's not a matter of if, but when. And, where? Jeter got two hits -- an infield grounder and two-run double -- giving him 2,996 in his superb career and CC Sabathia took out any anger for being snubbed as an All-Star by striking out 11 in seven shutout innings Tuesday night, leading the Yankees to a 9-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
