On this day in 2002 Mariano Rivera notched his 225th save as
a member of the New York Yankees setting a new franchise record. The previous
record of 224 saves was set by Dave Righetti. The Yankees would win the game
3-1 in Tampa over the Rays.
On this day in 1999 Mike Stanton started his first Major
League game after pitching in 552 relief appearances. Gary Lavelle had the
record for most appearances without starting a game before Stanton shut out
Seattle for four innings giving up two hits in a Yankee's 6-1 victory at Yankee
Stadium.
