Rays closer Fernando Rodney entered Sunday's game against Cleveland in the ninth inning looking to get some work in with the Indians leading 11-0. Unfortunately, Rodney made things worse for Tampa Bay.
Rodney, who saved 48 games for the Rays last season, allowed a two-run home run to Carlos Santana in the ninth. He gave up two runs on three hits and no walks with a strikeout and only managed two outs before being replaced by Carlos Ramos.
Rodney has allowed three earned runs on four hits and a walk over 1 2/3 innings in two appearances with just a strikeout and a 16.20 ERA. He did manage to earn a win over Baltimore in his first appearance after blowing his first save.
