Rodney picked up his seventh save Thursday, getting the last two outs against the Mets to preserve a 5-3 win.
It looked like Rodney's services wouldn't be needed with the Padres carrying a 5-0 lead into the ninth, but a pair of homers got manager Andy Green to turn to his closer. It took Rodney just four pitches to generate two easy fly balls, ending the game without drama and marking his 11th consecutive appearance without an earned run to start 2016.
