Hells Bells: Hoffman Reaches Milestone, but Is Still Miles Behind Rivera

Last night, Trevor Hoffman recorded his 600th save in the Brewers 4-2 victory over the slumping Cardinals.

What’s more, the two losses have not resulted because of a lack of contribution from the three-time MVP. Over the last two games, […]
