"Cue up "Enter Sandman."

By dropping a 3-0 decision to the Blue Jays Sunday, the Yankees all but guaranteed that Mariano Rivera will set the all-time saves record before his own fans at Yankee Stadium, where his home appearances for years have been heralded by Metallica's famous anthem.

Rivera, whose 601 career saves is tied for the all-time lead with Trevor Hoffman, needs just one more to make the record his own.

"It's exciting for our fans," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi.

Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who collected his 3,000th hit before an emotional crowd at Yankee Stadium on July 9, wants Rivera to enjoy setting his all-time mark before the home fans.

"For Mo, I'm hoping that he gets an opportunity to do it at home," Jeter said. "But we have to put him in position to do it at home. So we have to have a good homestand.""
