Keeping tabs on every home run for the New York Yankees this season. It was an improbable but not impossible dream for the Yanks. The eleven inning affair turned out in the Yankees favor, topping the Seattle Mariners 5-3.
With two on and two down in the top half of the eleventh, Jones jolted a three-run swat to right-center off Joe Beimel. Jones’ go-ahead smash, the first by a Yankee in the eleventh inning or later in Seattle since Kevin Maas at the Kingdome in 1991, put New York up 5-2. The smash was Jones’ second as a Yankee.
On the campaign the Bronx Bombers boast 65 home runs.
