NEW YORK (AP) – Derek Jeter seems to be trying to will the New York Yankees into the playoffs against the mighty odds.

Fans holding laudatory signs started showing up at Yankee Stadium when the gates opened at 4 p.m. Monday, an hour early in order to give them a chance to watch the New York captain take batting practice.

They serenaded him with chants of his name throughout the ninth inning.

And in between they burst into ovations when the 40-year-old continued his late-season renaissance with a two-run double and a run-scoring grounder for his first three-RBI game in two years. Jeter’s offense backed a one-hitter from Michael Pineda and three relievers in a 5-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles that gave New York a tiny bit more belief.

“You continue to play, and you continue to fight until you’re out of games. That’s all you can do,” Jeter said. “I’m well aware of the situation that we’re in.”
