Rays closer Fernando Rodney is in mid-season form as he came through big for the Dominican Republic national team on Thursday against the United States in the World Baseball Classic. Rodney only needed 16 pitches to pick up his fourth WBC save, and his second in Pool 2. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning and struck out one in a 3-1 victory. He has yet to allow a run in 4 1/3 innings of work in the WBC.
