Pompey gets first hit, receives congratulations from Jeter
Dalton Pompey grew up rooting for the Yankees and watching Derek Jeter, so the fact that his first career Major League start came at Yankee Stadium made it that much more special to him. Pompey promptly recorded his first career hit in the Majors with a single in the second inning of the Blue Jays’ 5-3 loss on Friday night. At the end of the inning he had a brief conversation with Jeter, who told him, “Congrats, I hope for a great career for you.”
