Mariano Rivera gained his fourth save of the season and 486th of his career as the Yankees defeated the A's 5-3 on Tuesday night at the new Yankee stadium.

Rivera entered with a two run lead and faced Kurt Suzuki to start the inning. Suzuki battled and got his fourth hit of the game as he singled up the middle. Travis Buck pinch hit and grounded to second. Cano bobbled the ball briefly but then recovered and tagged the runner going to second for the first out of the inning. Ryan Sweeney then struck out swinging and Orlando Cabrera popped out on the first pitch trying to bunt to end the game.

Mo is 0-0 on the season with 4 saves in as many save opportunities. He has pitched six innings and surrendered five hits, no walks and no runs. His season ERA remains at 0.00.
