NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees wanted Derek Jeter to provide a spark at the top of their lineup. And he delivered immediately. Jeter, who has hit safely in 13 straight World Series games, hit a leadoff home run for the Yankees on the first pitch from Bobby J. Jones in Game 4 against the New York Mets on Wednesday night.
