Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SEATTLE, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Mariano Rivera earned his 600th career save, and his 41st of the season, by nailing down the New York Yankees' 3-2 win over Seattle Tuesday.
Rivera gave up a hit but struck out two Mariners in the ninth to move within one save of Trevor Hoffman's all-time record and extend New York's winning streak to three games.
Robinson Cano homered in the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie and finished the game with two RBI. Jesus Montero had two hits and scored a run.
A.J. Burnett (9-11) struck out 11 while allowing two runs on four hits over six innings. His victory was his first since Aug. 15.
Miguel Olivo and Brendan Ryan drove in the Seattle runs after New York had taken a 2-0 lead in the second inning.
Charlie Furbush (3-8) took the loss after allowing three runs on seven hits and striking out six over 5 1/3 innings.
