"Two down, one to go.

Mariano Rivera tied Trevor Hoffman for baseball's all-time saves lead, throwing a scoreless ninth in the Yankees' 7-6 win over the Blue Jays Saturday in front of 39,288 at the Rogers Centre.

The save was the second of historic significance this week for Rivera, who joined Hoffman as the only members of the 600-save club on Tuesday night in Seattle.

Rivera's next save will move him ahead of Hoffman first place on baseball's list, officially establishing the greatest closer in history as the all-time saves king.

"He's into territory now that he's going to be in uncharted waters, easily labeled as the best closer of all time," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "What's remarkable is that when you watch video of when he first came up to where he is now, it's the same exact delivery, and I think that speaks volumes about his athleticism and how he's kept himself in shape.""
