===Game 4=== [[File:Derek Jeter batting stance allison.jpg|thumb|[[Derek Jeter]]'s walk off solo home run for the Yankees evened the series up at two games apiece and also earned him the nickname of "Mr. November".]] {{Linescore| |Date=October 31, 2001 |Time=8:23{{nbsp}}pm (EST) |Location=Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York |Road=Arizona|RoadAbr=AZ |R1=0|R2=0|R3=0|R4=1|R5=0|R6=0|R7=0|R8=2|R9=0|R10=0|RR=3|RH=6|RE=0 |Home='''New York'''|HomeAbr=NYY |H1=0|H2=0|H3=1|H4=0|H5=0|H6=0|H7=0|H8=0|H9=2|H10=1|HR=4|HH=7|HE=0 |RSP=|HSP= |WP=[[Mariano Rivera]] (1β0)|LP=[[Byung-hyun Kim]] (0β1)|SV= |RoadHR=[[Mark Grace]] (1)|HomeHR=[[Shane Spencer]] (1), [[Tino Martinez]] (1), [[Derek Jeter]] (1) |BoxURL=https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2001/B10310NYA2001.htm |Other={{convert|57|F|C}}, Overcast}} Game 4 saw the Yankees send [[Orlando HernΓ‘ndez]] to the mound while the Diamondbacks elected to bring back [[Curt Schilling]] on three days' rest. Both pitchers gave up home runs, with Schilling doing so to [[Shane Spencer]] in the third inning and Hernandez doing so to [[Mark Grace]] in the fourth. Hernandez pitched {{frac|6|1|3}} solid innings, giving up four hits while Schilling went seven innings and gave up one. With the game still tied entering the eighth, Arizona struck. After [[Mike Stanton (left-handed pitcher)|Mike Stanton]] recorded the first out of the inning, [[Luis Gonzalez (outfielder, born 1967)|Luis Gonzalez]] singled and [[Erubiel Durazo]] hit a double to bring him in. [[Matt Williams (third baseman)|Matt Williams]] followed by grounding into a fielder's choice off of [[Ramiro Mendoza]], which scored pinch runner [[Midre Cummings]] and gave the team a 3β1 lead. With his team on the verge of taking a commanding 3β1 series lead, Diamondbacks manager [[Bob Brenly]] elected to bring in closer [[Byung-hyun Kim]] in the bottom of the eighth for a two-inning save. Kim, at 22, became the first Korean-born player to play in the MLB World Series. Kim struck out the side in the eighth, but ran into trouble in the ninth. [[Derek Jeter]] led off by trying to bunt for a hit but was thrown out by Williams. [[Paul O'Neill (baseball)|Paul O'Neill]] then lined a single in front of Gonzalez. After [[Bernie Williams (born 1968)|Bernie Williams]] struck out, Kim seemed to be out of trouble with [[Tino Martinez]] coming to the plate. However, Martinez drove the first pitch he saw from Kim into the right-center field bleachers, tying the score at 3β3. The Yankees were not done, as [[Jorge Posada]] walked and [[David Justice]] moved him into scoring position with a single. Kim struck Spencer out to end the threat. When the scoreboard clock in Yankee Stadium passed midnight, World Series play in November began, with the message on the scoreboard "Welcome to November Baseball". [[Mariano Rivera]] took the hill for the Yankees in the tenth and retired the Diamondbacks in order. Kim went out for a third inning of work and retired [[Scott Brosius]] and [[Alfonso Soriano]], but Jeter hit an opposite field home run on a 3β2 pitch count from Kim. This home run gave the Yankees a 4β3 victory and tied the Series at two games apiece which guaranteed a return trip to Arizona and made Jeter the first player to hit a November home run and earning him the tongue-in-cheek nickname of "Mr. November".
