ST. Bryan Bickell Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. - Derek Jeter almost felt as if he were playing in the Bronx after getting a key late hit. Jeter had a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning and the New York Yankees ended a five-game skid with a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. The announced crowd at Tropicana Field was 31,042, the Rays second home sellout this season. Tampa Bay entered with the major leagues lowest average home attendance of 17,848. "There are a lot of Yankees fans down here because spring training is here," Jeter said. "Seemed like quite a few were in the stands, so its almost like a home game." Jeter is retiring after this season and playing in his final weekend games at Tampa Bay. The Yankees do return for three weekday games in September. "Im not so sure Ive heard his name chanted that loud in an opposing stadium this year," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Brett Gardner opened the ninth with an infield single off Jake McGee (3-1) and advanced on a throwing error by second baseman Logan Forsythe. After failing to lay down a sacrifice bunt, Jeter put New York ahead with a single to right-centre on a 2-2 pitch. "This game is funny, you know," Girardi said. "It changes on a drop of a hat." Dellin Betances (5-0) worked a perfect eighth before David Robertson got three outs for his 32nd save. Rookie Shane Greene allowed two runs, seven hits and struck out a career-high 10 in six-plus innings. The Yankees took a lead in the second when Chase Headley drew a two-out walk on a full-count pitch and Martin Prado homered on an 0-2 offering from Drew Smyly, making his first home start since being acquired in a trade that sent ace David Price to Detroit on July 31. Smyly gave up two runs and four hits over seven innings. "Theyve got a really good lineup," Smyly said. "They have good strike zone awareness. You just have to keep going right at them and making them swing." Price is scheduled to pitch against Tampa Bay for the first time Thursday in the finale of a three-game series in Florida. After Yunel Escobar had a sixth-inning RBI single, Tampa Bay tied it at 2 on Ben Zobrists run-scoring grounder in the seventh. The Rays extended their club-record streak of allowing three runs or fewer to 12 consecutive games, but have gone just 7-5 over the stretch. Tampa Bay had become the fourth team ever in the majors to get back to .500 after being at least 18 games under the break-even point with a 5-0 victory Friday night over the Yankees that gave them a 61-61 record. TRAINERSS ROOM Yankees: RHP Masahiro Tanaka (right elbow) threw 25 pitches during his first bullpen session since going on the DL July 9. C Brian McCann (concussion) might return Sunday. Rays: OF David DeJesus (left hand) went 0 for 1 with a walk in his first Gulf Coast League game. JETER METER The Yankees captain has 20 career game-winning RBI hits against the Rays, which is second most against Tampa Bay. Bostons David Ortiz tops the list with 26. BELTRAN BACK Yankees RF Carlos Beltran played defence for the first time since mid-May. After a DL stint that went into early June due to a right elbow bone spur, he had been limited to DH. Beltran said he will have surgery on the elbow after the season. ON THE MOVE Tampa Bay recalled INF Vince Belnome from Triple-A Durham and optioned reliever Brandon Gomes to the International League club. Belnome went 0 for 2 with a walk. UP NEXT Yankees RHP Hiroki Kuroda (7-8), 0-3 in his last four starts against Tampa Bay, and Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson (1-1) are Sundays scheduled starters. Cam Ward Jersey . And theyre pointing to the NHLs biggest market: Toronto. With Gretzky paid out for what is believed to be $7 to 8 million, Gretzky may be eager to get back into the NHL and TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that the Maple Leafs are very much interested in The Great Ones services. Julien Gauthier Jersey . -- Fresh off their surprising run in the playoffs, the Portland Trail Blazers have signed head coach Terry Stotts to a multi-year contract extension.Ryan Getzlaf - Baseball PlayerCanadian centre Ryan Getzlaf comes from a family where he was encouraged to play many sports. The Anaheim Ducks star played tailback in football with his brother Chris, who now plays for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but Ryan was more drawn to hockey and baseball. Getzlaf clearly ended up focusing on hockey, but represented Saskatchewan as a catcher in a national youth baseball tournament. When asked what he would be if he wasnt a hockey player, Getzlaf says he would attempt to revive his abilities in baseball.Steve Ott - Top Gun (Canadian Air Force)St. Louis Blues Steve Ott comes from a military family where both his parents are veterans in the Canadian Air Force, so his answer came easy... he would want to be a Top Gun if he werent playing hockey.To get the full experience of the above photo, please press play on the song featured below...Tuukka Rask - Rock StarTuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins once said if he werent playing professional hockey, he would likely be a rock star, and we completely believe it. The goaltender is already a rock star in the crease, so why couldnt he be a rock star on the stage too?The Vezina Trophy winner has even been spotted on the drums alongside Buffalo band the Mustnts. And theres video evidence!David Clarkson - Rock StarToronto Maple Leafs David Clarkson would also want to be a rock star... because lets be honest, it seems like a pretty cool gig. The Etobicoke, Ontario native says he wouuld love to play the guitar, sing and be a musician for the simple fact he loves music. Jake Bean Jersey. We can see Clarkson getting pretty intense while shredding his guitar up on stage.Patrice Bergeron - BusinessmanWeve all seen the commercial where Patrice Bergeron recites poetry for the NHL 15 game, but the Bruins centre says he would be in business if he werent a hockey player. We were really thinking Bergeron had a career as a romantic beat poet after hearing him perform a poem on feelings, but he could probably pull off being a businessman.Hmm... we still rather a beat poet, Patrice. At least consider it.Logan Couture - TeacherLogan Couture of the San Jose Sharks would want to follow in the footsteps of his mother if he werent a hockey player, who is a physical education teacher. And were genuinely surprised more hockey players didnt answer with "gym teacher" right off that bat.Brendan Gallagher - Golfer Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher would continue to use his athletic ability in a professional career if werent playing hockey, trying a career in professional golf, a sport many NHL players play in the offseason.Its pretty cool to learn what NHL players would want to be if they werent playing hockey, and funny to see what they would look like in those jobs. An alternate universe where Matt Duchene is a country music star and Sidney Crosby is saving people from burning buildings... what a world it would be.
