Rays closer Fernando Rodney needed some work as he had not taken the mound since April 10. Manager Joe Maddon got him that work Wednesday in Baltimore.
Rodney entered in the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead and kept it that way. He walked a batter but also had a strikeout as he finished off the Orioles in a non-save situation.
Rodney, who had allowed three runs over his first two appearances spanning 1 2/3 innings, has pitched two consecutive scoreless outings. He's 1-0 and is 1 for 2 in save situations.
