At the Stadium, classic Win-Save combination

both reuters, April 18, 2010 v Texas Rangers. Andy in the third.
"It was the 65th time Rivera saved a victory for Pettitte. That is the all-time record." George King, NY Post. If Mr. King is only looking at regular season, then 65 isn't the number. They also have 10 post season win-save combos. listed below, for a total of 75. Their hard work is trashed by a Soviet style blackout of not even mentioning post season stats in contexts like this that beg for it. I guess it's fine if it's not your career.
(8 of the above were multi-inning appearances for Rivera. Honorable Mention: The "Bugs" Game, Game 2, 2007 ALDS, NYY @ Cleveland. Pettitte and Rivera appeared together in other post season games that didn't have the exact technical requirements for a win-save combo).
