Fernando Rodney faced a total of eight batters, but he not only saved the Rays' 7-6 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday -- he may have saved their season.
After allowing two inherited runners to score in the eighth inning, Rodney started off the ninth by allowing a single to Adam Lind. Then the Rays' closer set down the rest of the order, preserving a victory that kept his team in the American League wild card chase.
Rodney allowed three hits and a walk with two strikeouts over 1 1/3 innings. He closed out the season with a 3.38 ERA.
