Watch: Jeter Downs hits first career home run at Yankee Stadium
Jeter Downs has played in nine games for the Red Sox.It’s only fitting that Jeter Downs’ first career Major League home run came at Yankee Stadium.
In the third inning Sunday, Downs – named after Derek Jeter – belted a l-1 Gerrit Cole offering over the left-field fence. The 363-foot, two-run shot plated Jackie Bradley Jr. and sliced the Yankees’ lead to 3-2.
Downs, who also registered his first career hit against the Yankees earlier in July, entered Sunday hitless in his last four games and with a .136 average overall.
