Posted by: Patrick
One point that I neglected to mention in the recap of last night's game is that it marked the 58th time that Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera have combined for a Pettitte win and Rivera save in the same game. They passed the mark of 57 held by Bob Welch and Dennis Eckersley.
After the game, they spoke with MLB.com's Bryan Hoch about the milestone.

It's been a pleasure to watch Andy and Mo all these years.

"It means we are old," Rivera said. "We've been playing together for a long time, that's what it means. It's great. I think nobody deserves that more than Andy. He's been a big guy for us, and I'm glad that I just follow and try to do my job." ...
"It's awesome. He's awesome," Pettitte said. "What can you say? I feel honored to have been able to play with him for as long as I have. He's a tremendous person and a tremendous baseball player."
