Rays closer Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth inning in a non-save situation Wednesday to record the final three outs in his team's 4-0 win over the Indians in the Wild Card game.
Rodney struck out two and induced a soft liner to the shortstop to send his team to Boston for Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox. Rodney converted three of four save opportunities against his ALDS opponent duing the regular season while allowing five earned runs and posting a 12:8 K:BB ratio in 6 2/3 innings.
