Burnett came through when the Yankees needed him most, leading New York past the Detroit Tigers 10-1 Tuesday night to send their AL playoff series back to the Bronx for a decisive Game 5. Derek Jeter rebounded from a game-ending strike- out Monday, putting the Yankees ahead to stay with a two-run double in the third inning. Granderson also had an RBI double and New York broke it open with six runs in the eighth. Shaky all season, Burnett 4 p.m. 10 1 2 3 3 4 Beltre hits 3 HRs; Texas advances ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — This is what Adrian Beltre envisioned when he signed with Texas in the offsea- son. Balls jumping off his bat in October, the Rangers making another run for the pennant. Beltre hit three straight home runs and the defending AL champions advanced again, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in Game 4 Tuesday to win their playoff matchup. Beltre put on a power show that few players in major league history have matched, helping Texas take the best-of-five series and ending the Rays' remark- able run to the wild-card spot. The Rangers next play the Detroit Tigers-New York Yan- kees winner. ''From my point of view, Texas gave me the best chance to put a ring on my finger,'' Beltre added, ''and I am just two steps away from it. Hopefully that happens.'' Ian Kinsler led off the game for Texas by homering on the second pitch from rookie Jeremy Hellickson. Then it was Beltre's turn. He came into the game in an 1-for- 11 slump in this series before breaking loose. Maybe Beltre's best day as a pro. ''I think besides my first big league hit, this is right up there,'' said the slugger, who spent last season with the Boston Red Sox. MCT photo Adrian Beltre celebrates one of his three home runs,Tuesday afternoon. He's back in the postseason for the first time since 2004, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was the seventh time a player has homered three times in a postseason game — Adam Kennedy was the last to do it, for the Angels in 2002. Babe Ruth did it twice, while Reggie Jack- son, George Brett and Bob Robertson also are on the list. Beltre connected in his first three at-bats. Given a chance to tie the big league record of four homers in a game, he hit a rou- tine flyout in the eighth against Wade Davis. ''I was just trying to get a run there. Hit a line drive some- where, maybe in the gap because they were trying to come back. ... Winning the game was more important for me than to hit the (fourth) homer,'' Beltre said. See TEXAS, page 2B Yankees pound Tigers, force Game 5 started only because Game 1 was suspended by rain Fri- day. He was in trouble in the first after loading the bases on walks but Granderson made a leaping grab of Don Kelly's line drive in center field, preventing at least three runs. Game 5 is Thursday night in New York. Rookie right-hander Ivan Nova, who shut down the Tigers in the opener, is expected to start against Doug Fister. Nova and Fister both came on as relievers Saturday after Game 1 started Friday night but was halted after 1 1/2 innings. Saved by Granderson's glove, Burnett allowed a run and four hits in 5 2-3 innings before turning it over to the bullpen. Granderson was on the Detroit team that went to the World Series in 2006, but the Tigers traded the popular outfielder to the Yankees as part of a three-team deal after the 2009 season. Max Scherzer, a pitcher Detroit received in the deal, left his mark on this series with an impressive Game 2 start. Then it was Granderson's turn. After hitting 41 home runs during the regular sea- son to become an MVP con- tender, Granderson made his biggest impact Tuesday with his glove. The Yankees didn't plan to start Burnett in this series, but they didn't have much of a choice after Game 1 took two days to finish. So they sent the erratic right-hander to the mound, hoping for the best. D NEWSAILY RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Corning Cardinals Football The man who has no imagination has no wings. — Muhammad Ali Elle Davis and the Lady Cardinals pushed their record to 11-0 on the sea- son and in the process clinched a Northern Ath- letic League title. PHYSICAL THERAPY & WELLNESS CENTER 2490 S. Main St., Red Bluff • 530-529-3636 Corning Lady Cardinals Tennis New York's worst fears appeared justified in the first. In fact, the Yankees' bullpen was already stirring when Burnett walked three hitters, one intentionally, to bring up Kelly with two outs and the bases loaded. Kelly — a surprise addi- tion to the Detroit lineup — hit a hard line drive to center field. Granderson appeared to misjudge the ball at first before backing up and jumping at the last second to rob Kelly of an extra-base hit. Burnett is in the third sea- son of a five-year, $82.5 mil- lion contract. He's been largely a disappointment, but he gave the Yankees the start they needed with the season on the line. Rafael Soriano relieved him in the sixth, and Jhonny Peralta lifted a fly to left- center. Granderson came sprinting over and made a diving catch even more impressive than the first one, sliding across the outfield grass on his belly after mak- ing the grab. He appeared shaken up for a bit after- ward, but stayed in the game. The Yankees had lost five straight postseason road games when facing elimina- tion, starting with Game 7 of the 2001 World Series at Arizona. New York was eliminated in Game 4 at Detroit in the 2006 division series, but the Tigers could- n't pull off a repeat perfor- mance.
