One out isn't as easy as it looks

Trevor Hoffman of the Padres added to his Major League record for saves, recording #541 tonight in San Diego's 4-0 win over Atlanta at Petco Park. Hoffman relieved Mike Adams in the ninth with two on and two out and struck out Brent Lillibridge to end the game.

Hoffman hasn't picked up all that many saves that were of the one out variety. It was just his 28th. Rollie Fingers leads all pitchers (since the institution of the save rule in 1969) with one out saves with 39.

Hoffman's other 514 saves break down this way:

  • 2 2/3 IP - 1
  • 2 1/3 IP - 1
  • 2 IP - 5
  • 1 2/3 IP - 9
  • 1 1/3 IP - 39
  • 2/3 IP - 15
  • 1 IP - 443
