Derek Jeter moves up another list

MLB, New York Yankees

NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter moved into sole possession of ninth place on baseball's all-time runs scored list in the third inning of Saturday's Yankees-Blue Jays game.

Jeter scored the 1,920th run of his career on Saturday, surpassing Alex Rodriguez for ninth place all time.

Jeter reached on an infield single that glanced off of the glove of Blue Jays second baseman Steve Tolleson with two outs in the bottom of the third. Jeter then reached second on a wild pitch and scored on Yankees catcher Brian McCann's single to left field.

Jeter plans to retire at the conclusion of the 2014 season.

He had struggled at the plate in August and for much of September, enduring an 0-for-28 slump earlier this month. But he entered play Saturday with four hits in his last eight at-bats, including a home run.

Jeter holds several prominent positions on baseball's all-time lists. He is sixth with 3,456 hits and is eighth in games played by players who have been with one team for their entire careers.

Jeter has also played 2,671 games at shortstop, the most appearances at any single fielding position in baseball history without having played another position, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
