Jeter poor vs. Porcello no more

"The facts were shining brightly right at Derek Jeter, and they didn't look good.

Staring him down was Tigers starter Rick Porcello, and in a flash Jeter was reminded just how much he had struggled against the right-hander.

"Porcello, I haven't had too much success off of him," Jeter said. "I saw on the scoreboard actually right before that pitch. I don't know why I looked up there, but I saw that."

What he saw was a big fat goose-egg — 0-for-10 lifetime, including a ground out in the first inning.

But that goose-egg didn't stick around for long.

Jeter crushed Porcello's next pitch to deep center for a two-run double, giving the Yankees a jump-start en route to their 10-1 series-tying triumph. The biggest hit of the night helped the Yankees to their first ALDS Game 5 since they lost to the Angels in 2005."
