Mariners closer Fernando Rodney worked past some early struggles for his seventh save of the season Saturday afternoon against the Astros in Houston.

Rodney got the team out of a jam by recording the final out in the eighth. He plunked Dexter Fowler to lead off the ninth, but bounced back by striking out Jason Castro and Matt Dominguez. He got Marc Krauss to fly out for the final out of the game, securing a 9-8 win.

Rodney is 7 for 8 in save chances with a 3.09 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP in 11 2/3 innings.
