Jeter hitless as Yanks bow out

Derek Jeter will bring the curtain down on his All-Star MLB career at the end of the regular season after the New York Yankees were officially eliminated from postseason contention on Wednesday. The retiring captain failed to get a hit in four at-bats for the Yankees, who were routed 9-5 by the Baltimore Orioles in the third game. This is the first time since 1992-93 that the Yankees have not participated in consecutive postseasons. The Yankees dropped to 81-77 on the season.
