Derek Jeter ended his streaks of 62 games and 259 at-bats without a home run by hitting two of them in the New York Yankees’ 12-5 win over the Texas Rangers.

The Yankees’ 36-year-old captain, who was the team’s only regular without a home run this season, led off the fifth inning yesterday with a line drive that just cleared the fence in right-center field at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas.
