Fernando Rodney got the call to pitch the ninth inning in a save situation and did not disappoint, collecting his 15th save in one inning pitched striking out two batters. The Mariners beat the Angels 3-1.
Fantasy Impact
Rodney had been removed as Seattle's closer in the beginning of the month and his replacement Carson Smith has performed well collecting five saves. Manager Lloyd McClendon chose to go with the veteran and it is unclear if this is a permanent change. Monitor the Mariners bullpen situation in the coming days for clarity before adding Rodney and his 5.70 ERA on your roster.
