ANAHEIM. With the Los Angeles Angels cruising along with a 7-0 lead after seven innings, Francisco Rodriguez was kicking back in the bullpen, figuring he wouldn't get his chance to tie a record.
Then Seattle scored three runs in the eighth, put runners on first and second with no outs in the ninth, and Rodriguez got the call. Greeted by rousing cheers as he took the mound, he got the final three outs Thursday night's 7-4 win for his record-tying 57th save of the season. “When it was 7-0, I was just trying to chill and watch the game. This is like the third or fourth time it's happened to me like this. But after their bats started coming alive, I started getting ready,” said Rodriguez, who has 16 games left to try to top the major league record set by Bobby Thigpen with the 1990 ChicagoSox.
Rodriguez didn't know about Thigpen until it began to look as if he might make a run at the record.
