Rodney recorded his 14th save of the season in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Marlins, tossing a perfect ninth inning and notching two strikeouts.
One day after Rodney blew his third save of the season in a 14-inning win over the Pirates, manager Torey Lovullo didn't hesitate to go back to the 40-year-old to close out the contest. Rodney showed he was up to the task, finding the strike zone in nine of his 14 pitches to ensure there wouldn't be extra innings in the series opener. While Rodney maintains an ugly 6.10 ERA and 1.45 WHIP for the season, he's been much better since the beginning of May, yielding no earned runs and converting 8-of-9 save chances in 11 appearances. He looks to have some decent job security at the back end of the Arizona bullpen.
