K-Rod passes Percival for 9th on saves list
6/8/15: Francisco Rodriguez strikes out Sean Rodriguez swinging to end the rain-delayed contest and earn his 11th savePITTSBURGH -- Francisco Rodriguez used to set up former Angels closer Troy Percival, but on Monday night -- or early Tuesday morning -- Rodriguez surpassed him.
Shortly after Rodriguez's Brewers and the Pirates sat around through an hour and 45 minute-rain delay, Rodriguez wasted no time retiring Pittsburgh to secure a 2-0 win at PNC Park and move into sole possession of ninth place on Major League Baseball's all-time saves list.
The 33-year-old right-hander, now with 359 saves, said he feels honored to have passed the player who taught him how to close a game.
