Rodney earned a save while striking out one and walking one Thursday against the Mariners.
Consistently among the most shaky closers in the league, Rodney has once again secured a closer's' role in 2018 and earned his first save of the season Thursday. His propensity for blow ups -- he had seven outings in which he allowed multiple runs last season -- makes him hard to trust as a primary closer. However, the Twins appear to be content using Addison Reed as their high-leverage setup man, leaving save chances to Rodney.
