Like Mussina, Josh Beckett gives up a single to the first batter he faces after the rain delay. Jeter hits a solid single up the middle to lead off the 6th inning.

Update: After striking out Giambi and Williams, Beckett walks Matsui to put men on first and 2nd for Posada. Posada doesn't have a hit in the series, but he does have a .400 OBA.

Update: Posada grounds out to end the inning. Beckett has 7 K and 3 BB through six innings.

Update: Jeter is playing his 29th World Series contest, and that's his 9th multi-hit game in the series. The Yankees are 7-1 in the previous eight games where Jeter has had 2 or more hits. And he directly contributed to those wins by scoring 12 runs in those previous eight games.
