"The 600-save club has officially doubled in size.

Mariano Rivera joined Trevor Hoffman as the only pitchers in history to record 600 saves, pitching a scoreless ninth Tuesday night to nail down the Yankees' 3-2 win over the Mariners.

"It feels great," Rivera said. "It's a great number."

The milestone was the first of what should be three in a row for Rivera, who will tie Hoffman for the all-time saves lead with his next one, then claim the record as his own with No. 602. Rivera's family was not in attendance for No. 600, but he plans on having his wife and three sons with him when he breaks Hoffman's record.

"They'll be there for the big one, God-willing," Rivera said."
