2000 Diary, June 3: Yankees bullpen blows lead in Atlanta
No matter how old or young the players are, their size, their style of play, fans of any sport will pay good money to see the best of the best. At Turner Field on June 3, fans in attendance had the privilege of seeing two legends in action, this time taking the mound for their respective teams — Roger Clemens for the Yankees and Greg Maddux for the Atlanta Braves. Yet the matchup of aces didn't become the pitchers' duel that was expected, as New York and Atlanta settled into a slugfest. June 3: Yankees 7, Braves 11 (box score) Record: 29-22 (Tied for 1st place in AL East) The visiting Yankees came into the second game of the three-game interleague series having won the first contest by a score of 5-2. And with two fantastic but stylistically different arms on the mound for both sides, it was bound to be an exciting bout with the Yankees looking to win a big series on the road against a 35-18 Braves squad. Advertisement The Bombers arrived on time, as well. The first four men in the order found their way on base via a hit. Chuck Knoblauch smoked a line drive to left, and Derek Jeter followed that up with a single of his own to center field. Paul O'Neill brought Knoblauch across home plate for the first run of the game with another line drive single to left, and Bernie Williams brought Jeter home with a double to center, putting the Yankees up 2-0. The Braves responded in the bottom of the first against Clemens, cutting the lead to one run, but as a result of an error by Clemens on the throw to first. Clemens struck out the next two batters to keep the Yankees in the lead. After Maddux struck out Clemens to begin the top of the second, Knoblauch hit another ball to left field, this time a double. He stole third base with Jeter up at the plate, and the Yankees' shortstop brought his middle infield partner across to score with a single, reinstating the two-run lead. The Braves did not go away, though, as Bobby Bonilla doubled to right to lead off the bottom of the second inning. Groundouts from Rafael Furcal and Fernando Lunar brought Bonilla across to score, bringing the deficit back to one before the inning ended. Advertisement A surprising backup soon helped the Yankees out. Catcher Chris Turner stepped in for Jorge Posada after the soon-to-be All-Star took a pitch off the hand behind the plate and left injured. Although not remotely the offensive threat that Posada was, Turner celebrated his coincidental appearances at Turner Field by putting the Yankees back up two runs with a leadoff home run off Maddux in the top of the third, his first as a Yankee. Despite the billing of a matchup of two elite pitchers, neither starter could establish a rhythm. In the bottom of the third, Jones led off the inning with a walk against Clemens, and after Wally Joyner reached on an error by Jeter, it was Brian Jordan's turn to respond, and he did. A loud crack of the bat sent the baseball flying over the left field wall and put Atlanta up 5-4, giving them their first lead of the game. Yet again, the top of the Yankees' lineup came back against Maddux. Knoblauch went back to the dugout for the first time on the night before singles from Jeter and O'Neill. A double steal would've put runners in scoring position, but the throw from Atlanta catcher Lunar sailed, scoring Jeter and putting O'Neill at third. Williams grounded out with no movement from Jeter at third, but Martinez stepped up and brought Jeter across to score, reclaiming a 6-5 lead. The Braves tied the game on a Javy López pinch-hit double to center that Williams could not corral, scoring Furcal. But in the top of the sixth, again the Yankees fought back, at last forcing Maddux from the game. Jeter scored his third run of the game on another Turner hit, and Maddux departed after 5.2 innings pitched, a startling 13 hits allowed, and seven earned runs against. Advertisement With the Yankees up 7-6, all they needed was for the bullpen to hold on, but that wasn't on the cards. Jason Grimsley pitched one inning clean, but allowed two unearned runs after an error credited to Martinez, a hit by pitch, and a wild pitch. A double from López scored two runs and gave the Braves a lead that they would not give away again. New York's bullpen gave up three more runs in the bottom of the eighth, and the offense could not find a rally in their bones, dropping the contest 11-7. It was a sour way to go down; it must've been hard to envision dropping a game with Clemens on the mound on a day the offense pounded out 13 hits. In any event, the Yankees would look to regroup and take the series the next day with Andy Pettitte on the mound. Read the full 2000 Yankees Diary series here. Advertisement More from

Derek Jeter says setting 'small, incremental goals' helped make him a champion—here's how
One weekend early in high school, Derek Jeter was faced with a choice: join his friends on a fishing trip or stay behind to go to baseball practice. He presented the decision to his father, who told the teenager to think long and hard about what he wanted to do. "He simply said, 'Look, if you want to be a fisherman, go. But if you want to be a Major League Baseball player, you got to go to practice,'" Jeter explained. "I skipped the fishing trip instead of skipping practice." The importance of making the right choices was the theme of Jeter's address to the 2025 University of Michigan graduating class this past weekend. "It is the intentional decisions we make, no matter how big or small they may seem at the time that pave the roads we take," the Hall of Fame shortstop told the graduates. The five-time World Series champion said that while it was always his lifelong dream to play for the New York Yankees, he set "small, incremental goals, like making the Little League All-Star team" along the way. By laying these more attainable goals out, Jeter was able to come up with a plan of attack to help bring them to fruition. "Here's a simple tip I learned from my mom: Before each season, she would ask me, 'Did you write down your goals?'" Jeter said. "My mom never asked and I never told her what was on my list. But identifying and putting these goals down on paper, they help transform them from just ideas into actions. It is a choice." For Jeter, honoring his choices is what led him to skip the fishing trip with his friends. "It is what you do when no one else is watching that really makes you stand out," he said. "No one has to know about your choices but you." Jeter's mantra is in line with advice from experts. Philosopher Francis Sanzaro told CNBC Make It in 2023 that he swears by the "power of subtraction," which he uses to minimize mental interference. This strategy sees him focus less on his end goal and more on the steps along the way. For example, if his goal was to lose weight, he would focus on eating healthier meals rather than on the number he wants to hit on the scale. This type of single-tasking can be practiced across various parts of your life. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. "The mind simply cannot rewire itself that quickly," Sanzaro said. "If you wait until the morning of and try some little mindset trick to get you into the 'right' state of mind, you will, in the end, just create internal resentment."
