On April 28, 2009 – Trevor Hoffman adds another save to his all-time leading total when he picks up number 555 in pitching a scoreless 9th inning in Milwaukee’s 6 – 5 win over Pittsburgh. It is the Brewers’ 14th straight win over Pittsburgh, dating back to 2007. This is Hoffman’s first save for the Brewers; he picked up two as a rookie for the Florida Marlins in 1993, and the 552 others came with the San Diego Padres.
