Rodney struck out two and walked one in a strong ninth inning to earn his 21st save in Monday's 6-3 win over the Reds.
Rodney entered with a comfortable three-run lead, which allowed him not to panic after a lead-off walk to Zack Cozart. He faced no problems with the next three batters, which should come as a relief after the 39-year-old gave up a home run among four hits in his previous appearance.
