Indians defeat Yankees; Jeter limps off

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter limped off the field with a sore right calf four innings after getting his 2,994th hit, and Carlos Carrasco escaped early trouble to pitch the Cleveland Indians past the New York Yankees 1-0 Monday night.

There was no immediate word on the severity of Jeter’s injury. He was noticeably hurt as he jogged toward first base during a flyout in the fifth and left the game, stalling his pursuit to become the 28th big leaguer to reach 3,000 career hits.

Teammates, fans and even Jeter himself had said it would be nice to achieve the milestone at Yankee Stadium. New York has three games against Texas left on this homestand, then goes on a six-game road trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Cincinnati.
