Mariano Rivera Gets Save 600 Yankees Closer Reaches Career Milestone Video

The celebration was pure Mariano Rivera.No big screams or wild gestures. Certainly no spectacle, even if Rivera is widely regarded as the best ever at what he does.Just warm hugs and appreciative handshakes from Yankees teammates. And even that might have been more than what Rivera wanted following the 600th save of his remarkable career.In a season in which Jeter already reached one of baseball's grandest milestones with his 3,000th hit, Rivera also has added to his Yankees legacy. Next up is No. 601, which could come Wednesday night in the series finale at Seattle.The Yankees handed Burnett a 2-0 lead. In the second, Robinson Cano drilled his 25th home run of the season. Three batters later, Jesus Montero scored on a Charlie Furbush wild pitch. The lead was short-lived.Burnett’s first three innings featured all his usual delights — wild pitches, hit batsmen, extra-base hits — yet somehow he kept the Yankees in the game. Though he promptly surrendered the lead, Burnett held the line.
