Rodney tossed a perfect ninth inning and struck out a batter to notch his 10th save of the season in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Mets.
Rodney looked like he could be the next closer to lose his job after he finished April with a 12.60 ERA and 2.30 WHIP, but he's since rewarded manager Torey Lovullo's decision to stick with him in the ninth inning. The 40-year-old has converted each of his last four save chances while turning in a spotless ERA and giving up no hits and two walks over his last 4.2 innings. Rodney still profiles as a lower-tier closer, but he likely has a little more room for slippage than he did two weeks earlier.
