Francisco Rodriguez puts two batters on, but strikes out Wladimir Balentien and Raul Ibanez with men on 2nd and 3rd to preserve a 5-2 Angels and earn his 58th save. That breaks Bobby Thigpen's 1990 record. Congratulations to K-Rod on breaking the single season save record!

K-Rod hasn't pitched a perfect outing since 8/29, however. I wonder if the Angels are going to shut him down for a few days to get him ready for the playoffs. This was his 70th appearance of the season, a new career high with two weeks to go. The Angels might decide home field is very important and keep using him in close games, however.
