The Streak is Over, The Yanks go to .500



I was at this game. Derek Jeter hit a first-pitch homer in the bottom of the first (off Barry Zito) to break an oh-for-32 schneid. The Yankees went on to win, 7-5, with Mariano closing it out.

This was the big turnaround series, where the Yanks swept Oakland and the Big Three, started off by Big Rubes' chalk-duster double with the bases jacked to put them up for good in the eighth inning of the first game.
