Rodney notched his 18th save of the season in impressive fashion Wednesday, striking out the side in the ninth inning in a 2-1 win over the Tigers.
He sat down Justin Upton, Nick Castellanos and Andrew Romine on 16 pitches, getting the first two looking. Rodney seems to have found his best stuff recently, putting up an 8:1 K:BB through his last five appearances (five innings) without allowing a hit, much less a run, but his 5.11 ERA on the season is a reminder that his April was just as awful as his June has been great so far.
