CLEVELAND (AP) - Derek Jeter pulled within three hits of 3,000 for his career, lining a double in three at-bats against Justin Masterson, who shut down New York for eight scoreless innings and led Cleveland to a 5-3 win Wednesday night.
Jeter, who was on deck when the game ended, went 1 for 3 and also drew a walk from Masterson (7-6), who was backed up by two sensational plays from All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the eighth.
Rookie Lonnie Chisenhall hit his first career homer for Cleveland, which took two of three in the series between first-place teams. The Indians scored two runs in the first off starter Phil Hughes (0-2), but left the bases loaded twice and stranded 13 runners.
Masterson allowed three hits, struck out six, walked two and got just his second win since April 26. He turned it over in the ninth to Cleveland's bullpen, but reliever Vinnie Pestano couldn't finish it and gave up three runs. Closer Chris Perez came on and got three outs for his 21st save.
