Derek Jeter hit leadoff on Thursday, which is where he is expected to be in the Yankees' lineup on Opening Day. He hit a single in the first inning and scored on Hideki Matsui's two-run home run down the right-field line to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead.

Johnny Damon would hit in the second slot with Jeter first.
