Rodney recorded his 25th save of the season Wednesday, loading the bases on a walk and a pair of singles before retiring the final batter.
Rodney entered the ninth with a 3-0 lead, so Royals third baseman Christian Colon represented the winning running when he stepped in to face Rodney with two outs and the bases loaded. Rodney escaped by inducing a line out to the shortstop, keeping his ERA at 2.17. Rodney has now converted eight straight save opportunities for the Marlins, although Wednesday was one of the shakiest.
