Mariners closer Fernando Rodney has hit a recent rough patch, allowing six earned runs in his last two appearances (1 1/3 innings) with a blown save but said he's put it behind him, reports MLB.com.

"When the game is over, you leave with your head held high, you forget about it," Rodney said. "That's what I have to do."

Some closers study video or engage in psychological sit-downs with their pitching coaches, but not Rodney.

"I don't do any of that stuff," Rodney said.
