Never caused problems. Never raised a ruckus. Never got sick or hurt while frolicking in the fields of Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky.OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics took time out to honour retiring Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter before Sundays game, giving him a vintage bottle of fine Northern California wine and a check for his foundation. They didnt treat New York starter Vidal Nuno nearly so nicely. Derek Norris and Coco Crisp hit early three-run homers to back a strong start by Jesse Chavez, and the As beat the Yankees 10-5 on Sunday. „We obviously made ourselves a little more well-rounded over the last couple years, but whenever were hitting homers were winning,“ Norris said. „Thats just the bottom line. Thats what we did today.“ The As had been held to one run or fewer in four of their previous nine games before taking a 10-0 lead in four innings. Yoenis Cespedes drove in two runs and Josh Donaldson snapped an 0-for-33 slump with an RBI single. Chavez (6-4) carried a shutout into the sixth. With the second-best record in the majors behind San Francisco, the As have won three of four and are off to their best start in nearly 25 years. „Its good to see,“ Oakland manager Bob Melvin said of his clubs power surge. „We havent been swinging the bat as well as we were earlier, certainly on the power portion of it. But two big three-run homers today gets you off to a good start.“ Norris, who matched his career high with three hits, homered in the first and Crisp connected in the second off Nuno (1-3). Carlos Beltran hit his first home run for the Yankees since coming off the disabled list. But the All-Star veteran also was called out on a strange play in the eighth inning when he lost track of the outs and wandered away from first base. With one out in the eighth and the As ahead 10-3, Beltran grounded into a forceout at second. He trotted toward New Yorks first-base dugout and got halfway there, then turned around and headed back toward the bag — Beltran was tagged in foul ground. Umpire Dan Iassogna made the call and Yankees manager Joe Girardi came onto the field for a brief discussion. By rule 7.08, Beltran was out for „abandoning“ the base. „I thought theree were two outs,“ Beltran said in the Yankees quiet clubhouse. Colorado Avalanche Gear. „It was too late to go back.“ Chavez blanked the Yankees until Derek Jeter doubled in the sixth and scored on Mark Teixeiras two-out single. Oaklands right-hander was stellar otherwise, allowing five hits over six innings with four strikeouts. „The big key is not walking anybody,“ Chavez said. „Today, even if I did go to a full count I didnt want to give in.“ Beltran homered off reliever Ryan Cook in the seventh. Brett Gardner also homered for New York, a two-run shot in the ninth. The Yankees put two more runners on base after that against struggling reliever Jim Johnson, and Luke Gregerson came on for the last out. Jeter played his last scheduled game at the Coliseum and received a lengthy ovation from the sold-out crowd that included several thousand fans decked out in Yankees jerseys. The retiring shortstop was given a bottle of Northern California wine during a pregame ceremony and received a financial donation from the As for his Turn 2 Foundation. It was at the Coliseum, in fact, where Jeter made one of the most memorable plays of his career. His backhanded flip to the plate helped save the Yankees in the 2001 playoffs. Jeter hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the seventh before being replaced by Brendan Ryan in the bottom half of the inning. Nuno, who had allowed only three earned runs total over his previous two outings, allowed eight runs and eight hits in three-plus innings. NOTES: Norris also hit a three-run home run on Mothers Day. … The 10 runs were the As most against the Yankees since 2007 and helped them snap out of a weeklong power slump. Oakland had hit only one home run over its previous five games. … As OF Josh Reddick (hyperextended knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. … Oakland LHP Drew Pomeranz (5-3) pitches against visiting Texas on Monday night. … New York RHP Masahiro Tanaka (10-1) starts against AL East-leading Toronto at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series. ‚ ‚ ‚
