SEATTLE -- Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte has had career full of highlights in the big leagues. And Saturday he added a couple more. Pettitte allowed three hits over 7 1-3 innings to earn his 250th career victory, leading the Yankees to a 3-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. The 47th pitcher in major league history to reach that milestone, he will turn 41 on June 15. But what happened just as the game ended meant even more to him. His first-born son, Josh Pettitte, a right-hand pitcher for Deer Park (Texas) High School, was drafted by the Yankees in the 37th round in the Major League Baseball draft. "Ill remember this one, thats for sure," said Pettitte, who also picked up his 213th victory as Yankee, putting him third on the franchises career list behind Whitey Ford (236) and Red Ruffing (231). Josh, who was with his father in the dugout during the game, got a call from Yankees director of amateur scouting Damon Opperheimer in the Yankee clubhouse as the game was ending. "I was shaving and I walked out and Damons on the phone," Pettitte said. "I gave him a big hug and kiss and told him I was proud of him. Josh, who had a pair of no-hitters this season, has a scholarship offer to play for Baylor. Thats where his dad wants him to go. "Its an honour to have the Yankees take him and were excited about that," Pettitte said. "Its a good situation to have the opportunity for a lot of teams to look at him. (But) the money wasnt going to be there to where I felt he needed to pass up on Baylor. Dads hoping Baylor is what hes going to do." Asked what he gets the most satisfaction from, his 250th win or Josh being drafted, Pettitte said, "it all ties together now. You cant separate them. It happened here with the game ending. Its pretty cool." Whats also tied in is his association with Marino Rivera. The Yankees closer worked the ninth and saved a Pettitte victory for the 71st time, the most of any pitching combination since the save rule was established. "I have the same joy he has, knowing that Ive been there for every one of them," said Rivera, who earned his 630th save to add to his major league record. "Ive been able to contribute a little bit to his success. Im as happy as he is. "He pitched a tremendous game today. To be there for his 250th, thats special. " Rivera also has great numbers. He has 22 saves in 23 opportunities this season -- expected to be his last -- and is 36 of 38 for his career against the Mariners. "I feel blessed to play the game as long as I have," Pettitte said, "and to have Mo close it out is special because hes such a good friend." Pettitte (5-3) had six strikeouts and no walks in his 85-pitch effort. He has 1,940 strikeouts as a Yankee, 16 behind franchise leader Ford. Pettitte is 12-13 in 26 career starts against the Mariners, the only American League team he has a losing record against. "We tried to make adjustments and he adjusted right back," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said of Pettitte. "Hes amazing. There are a couple of guys over there that have had amazing careers and are still doing it at the highest level." Jayson Nix had a pair of RBI singles and Brett Gardner had three hits, including two doubles. The Yankees scored a two-out run off Joe Saunders (4-6) in the first inning. After Mark Teixeira doubled down the left-field line, Robinson Cano drove him home with a single to right for his 40th RBI. Jason Bay opened with a single to left in the Mariners fourth, the first baserunner Pettitte allowed. Kyle Seager followed with a first-pitch single to right, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. Kendrys Morales then bounced a potential double-play grounder to shortstop Nix. He bobbled it and was late to tag second, but still threw to first for one out. Michael Morse then hit a sac-fly to centre, scoring Bay. The Mariners failure to turn a double play in the fifth allowed the Yankees to jump ahead, 2-1. Ichiro Suzuki walked and advanced to second on Chris Stewarts one-out single to centre. Gardner then hit a one-hopper to third baseman Seager. He threw quickly to second for the force but second baseman Nick Franklin bobbled the relay and Gardner reached. Nix then drove Suzuki home with a single to right. Nix also drove home the final run in the seventh on a single to centre, scoring Gardner, who had doubled. Kevin Youkilis entered the game tied with Bostons David Ortiz for reaching base safely in all 20 games they have started at Safeco Field. His sixth-inning walk gave him 21 straight. "Two hundred-fifty wins and a lot of post-season wins, too," Yankee manager Joe Girardi said of Pettitte. "Hes been a great Yankee, one of the all-time greats. Its been a pleasure to play with him and a pleasure to manage him." NOTES: Yankees RHP Michael Pineda, who had labrum surgery 14 months ago, began his rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa Saturday. .

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time.What happened last night that you need to know about? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best performances. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Matthews brings it large: Amazing. Simply amazing. Few could have predicted Auston Matthews would have that kind of impact in his NHL debut Wednesday night. The best part of his four-goal night was he did it with ease. Im not saying his accomplishments were easy, but it was the so-called little things that made his performance look effortless. His positioning was perfect. He was strong on the puck. He played as though he were a veteran and not a 19-year-old kid. (Ask?Erik Karlsson, whose pocket he picked for his second goal.) Sure, hes the first NHL player to score four goals in his debut, but the best part was seeing his mother in the stands with tears in her eyes. Thats a big journey for a kid who grew up playing hockey in Arizona and chose to go to Switzerland to develop, rather than the traditional junior or college route. Despite a 5-4 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators, Matthews debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs was incredible. In our preseason picks, I said the Winnipeg Jets Patrik Laine would win the Calder Trophy as the rookie of the year. Any chance I can take that back? During the World Cup of Hockey, Matthews proved his worth for Team North America, but no one could have expected this. Its going to be great to watch him help the Maple Leafs become a contender once again.Dont forget about McDavid: As the final buzzer sounded after the Senators won in OT, it was time to change the channel to watch the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames. I was thinking it would be funny if?Connor McDavid?scored three goals as a response to Matthews night. Well, the newest 19-year-old captain came up a bit short, scoring twice and adding an assist to lead the Oilers to a 7-4 win over the Flames in the first game at Rogers Place.dddddddddddd Like Matthews, McDavid was a stud for Team North America during the World Cup, and he proved once again in the Oilers season opener why he should be considered one of the best players in the world. He missed a good portion of the 2015-16 season with a broken collarbone, so the hockey world didnt get a true glimpse of his talents at the NHL level. Unfortunately, fellow 2015 top pick?Jack Eichel (No. 2 overall) of the?Buffalo Sabres?suffered an ankle injury during practice Wednesday and will be sidelined indefinitely, so once again we wont see McDavid-Eichel go head-to-head to start the season. Honestly, its not even a debate anymore as to whos the most dominant.And thats not all: Speaking of young players, Matthews and McDavid set the stage for fellow budding superstars to make their debuts on Thursday. The most anticipated is by Laine. The Finnish player, who was selected second overall in June behind Matthews, will make his debut Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes. I expect he will make a strong push for that this season. Im not saying hell score four goals like Matthews did, but Laine is a confident kid who will make his presence felt with authority. No doubt he will use Matthews debut as motivation. Im also interested to see the New York Rangers Jimmy Vesey make his NHL debut against the New York Islanders Thursday at Madison Square Garden. He was the biggest college free agent during the offseason; a lot is expected from him this season. ' ' '
