Derek Jeter singled in the first inning Tuesday night, passing Babe Ruth for second place on the New York Yankees’ career hits list.

Jeter sent an 0-2 pitch from Los Angeles Angels right-hander Ervin Santana into left field for his 2,519th hit. Only Lou Gehrig (2,721) has more hits in a Yankees uniform. Jeter got No. 2,520 with a triple in the sixth and notched his third hit of the game with a single in the seventh.

Jeter has 1,260 hits at Yankee Stadium, nine shy of Gehrig’s record, with 10 games remaining there.
