NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter gave Yangervis Solarte some assistance with Yankee Stadium tradition, then the rookie helped make the captain a winner in his final
home opener Monday as New York beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2.
Miguel
Ponce Jersey . Jeter doubled high off the left-field wall and scored on
Jacoby Ellsburys first hit in pinstripes in the fifth. Hiroki Kuroda (1-1)
pitched 6 1-3 sharp innings in the Yankees 112th opener in New York. In what
manager Joe Girardi said would be a season-long lovefest for Jeter, the
shortstop was cheered every step of the way by an adoring crowd of 48, 142 --
even when his double-play grounder back to Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2)
scored Solarte in the third inning for the first run. Solarte, a career minor
leaguer and non-roster invitee to spring training, continued a torrid start as
the suspended Alex Rodriguezs replacement at third base with a go-ahead RBI
single in the fourth inning. Playing in his first game in the Bronx, Solarte
needed Jeter to tell him to wave to the Bleacher Creatures when they chanted his
name during pregame roll call. The Orioles got RBI singles from Matt Wieters and
Nelson Cruz in falling to 2-5. Adam Jones and Chris Davis struck out against
Adam Warren with a runner on in the eighth and trailing 4-2. Shawn Kelley
pitched a perfect ninth for his first career save. Minutes later, the Yankees
said closer David Robertson would be put on the disabled list with a strained
groin. After missing all but 17 games last season, Jeter announced Feb. 12 his
20th season would be his final one. His retirement tour started on the road,
where New York went 3-3 against Houston and Toronto. But Jeter, who went 1 for
4, has said the season doesnt really start until the Yankees have had their home
opener, and to help celebrate the team brought together the five-time World
Series champion Core Four. Recently retired teammates Andy Pettitte and
Mariano Rivera threw ceremonial first pitches to Jeter and Jorge Posada, who
retired after 2011. With an era coming to a close, change was evident
everywhere. Robertson moved into Riveras locker. Carlos Beltran was given
Robinson Canos choice spot next to the door leading to the players off-limits
sanctuary. And the only evidence that Rodriguez -- banned for the year because
of his involvement in the Biogenesis drug scandal -- is still a member of the
Yankees was in a new series of paintings hanging in the hallway leading to the
clubhouse that celebrate New Yorks recent World Series championships. A-Rods
nameplate was not above his locker and the new plush chair sitting in front of
the stall did not have a No. 13 embroidered in the seatback. Solarte scored New
Yorks first run, starting the third with a walk after falling behind 0-2. He
advanced to third when Brett Gardner, the only holdover starter from last years
opening-day lineup, lined a sharp single to centre field and Jones was slow to
get the ball into the infield. Solarte scored on Jeters double-play ball back to
Jimenez. Solarte went 1 for 3 and is 9 for 20 this season with six RBIs. The
Orioles got the run right back in the fourth when Jones singled, moved to second
when Gardner made a leaping catch in foul territory down the line in left on
Davis popup and scored on Wieters single. Leading 2-1, the Yankees chased
Jimenez in the fifth after Brian Roberts walked to load the bases. But
Zach Britton entered and walked Kelly Johnson to make it 4-1. Jimenez yielded
four runs and eight hits, walked five and struck out four in his second shaky
start since signing a four-year contract in February. NOTES: The Yankees
improved to 14-2 in season openers Jeter played in. ... SS J.J. Hardy was not in
the starting lineup for the second straight game because of back spasms. "Hes
better than he was yesterday," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. ... Orioles
LHP Johan Santana (shoulder surgery) was set to throw a two-inning simulated
game. ... Yogi Berra was at Yankee Stadium but did not participate in the
pregame ceremony. Granddaughter Lindsay Berra tweeted a picture of him with
Girardi, Posada and Reggie Jackson. ... Ellsbury had seven hits in the Yankees
opening road trip before putting on the home pinstripes.
Francisco
Rodriguez Jersey . At least 90 players who had college eligibility
remaining are expected to enter the draft, shattering last years record number
of 73. "Its a humongous number, so the first reaction is it makes you step back
a little bit," said NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former scout
with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.
Orbelin
Pineda Jersey . Or maybe he already did. Clark hit his first homer,
Wily Peralta pitched into the seventh inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the
Miami Marlins 4-1 Wednesday night.

Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting
his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier
had to say. DETROIT -- The NHL-leading Boston Bruins followed their game plan of
keeping Gustav Nyquist in front of them for more than two periods. When the puck
got loose, and Nyquist got to it, though, one of the games best defenceman and
goalies couldnt stop the surging goal-scorer. Nyquist broke a tie with 7:12 left
in the third period on his only shot of the game, and the Detroit Red Wings held
on to beat Boston 3-2 on Wednesday night. "I didnt think Gus had one of his best
games by any means, but he scored a big goal," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.
Nyquist has a league-high 23 goals since Jan. 20 and a team-high 27 this season.
He has given the Red Wings the breakout player they needed to boost their
chances of extending their post-season streak to 23 seasons while missing many
key players, including Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. The 24-year-old
Swede started the season with the AHLs Grand Rapids Griffins after scoring a
total of four goals in 40 games the previous two seasons. "Thats one of the
young players that has come in here, and given the chance to be a front guy has
taken total of advantage of it," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "Those things
probably dont happen if Datsyuk and Zetterberg are still in the lineup. "When
things like that happen, some guys are really good at stepping to the forefront.
Hes done an unbelievable job of doing that." The Bruins turned the puck over
near Detroits blue line, paving the way for Nyquist to score. He raced up ice,
skated around defenceman Zdeno Chara and ended his blurring sequence by scoring
against Tuukka Rask. "I think (Chara) came off the bench so it was tough for him
to get enough time to gap up, got kind of flat-footed," Nyquist said. "I just
tried to use my speed." He has done that a lot lately, scoring in three straight
games and having at least one point in 10 games in a row. Nyquist scored 1:42
after teammate Tomas Jurco tied the game. Jimmy Howard finished with 33 saves to
seal the win, strengthening Detroits spot as a wild-card team in the Eastern
Conference with six games left. "Howie kept us in the game and gave us a
chance," defenceman Niklas Kronwall said. "We didnt play great, but we found a
way." The Atlantic Division-champion Bruins have been doing that for a while,
winning a franchise-record nine straight on the road and earning at least a
point in their previous 16 games.
Raul
Jimenez Jersey. Boston led the Red Wings twice, but couldnt put away the
young, scrappy and short-handed team. "Theyve got really good speed," Rask said.
"We did a pretty good job of shutting them down, but not good enough." Rask made
17 saves before being pulled for an extra skater with 1:14 left. Detroits
Tomas Tatar scored early in the second period to tie the game the Bruins were
basically dominating. Tatar used his left skate to push the puck across the
front of the crease to set up Jurcos goal. The Bruins held out 36-year-old
forward Jarome Iginla because of a lower-body injury, and the team said he is
day to day. Iginla played in Bostons first 75 games this season, leading the
team with 30 goals and ranking second with 61 points. The defending Eastern
Conference champions outshot Detroit 11-4 in the first period and 14-7 in the
second before seemingly playing less aggressively in the third when they went
ahead. "I thought we let our guard down the second part of the third and they
capitalized on it," Julien said. Johnny Boychuks slap shot put the Bruins up 1-0
late in the first, and Carl Soderberg gave them a 2-1 lead early in the third.
Boychuk scored shortly after an apparent Boston goal was waved off because Chara
was in the crease. Tatar tied it 4:45 into the second with a wrist shot from the
right circle that went across traffic and got past Rask as his view was
obstructed by Detroits Riley Sheahan. Tatar, another one of many young players
who has made the most of an opportunity to play a lot for the banged-up team,
has 19 goals after scoring five times in 27 games the previous two seasons. The
Bruins went back ahead 1:10 into the third when Soderberg scored from the left
circle off a cross-ice pass from Patrice Bergeron. Detroit, though, refused to
go away and rallied for a much-needed win. NOTES: The Bruins hadnt lost in
regulation since March 1 in a 4-2 loss to Washington. ... The Red Wings kept
forward Daniel Alfredsson out of the lineup because of a lower-body injury. ...
Datsyuk skated with teammates Wednesday morning, but missed his 16th straight
game because of an injured left knee. Datsyuk wouldnt say if he expected to play
Friday at home against Buffalo. ... Bergeron extended his point streak to nine
games.
