Mariners closer Fernando Rodney delivered his 26th save Monday, striking out two during a 1-2-3 ninth inning to finish off his team's 2-0 win over the Twins.
Rodney punched out the first two batters he faced before ending the game with a popout to the shortstop. The closer has surrendered just two runs in 14 2/3 innings since the beginning of June while striking out 16 batters and walking just one during that stretch. He owns a 2.04 EAR and 41:11 K:BB ratio in 35 1/3 innings.
