Fernando Rodney closed things out for the Hamilton Cardinals as they defeated the Barrie Baycats 2-1 at Athletic Kulture Stadium Saturday evening.
Rodney, 48, is a three-time MLB All-Star and won a World Series as a member of the Washington Nationals in 2019, his final appearance in the majors.
On Saturday, Rodney pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning with two strikeouts and shot his signature arrow celebration on his way to picking up his first IBL save. He previously recorded 327 saves during his lengthy MLB career, ranking him 19th all-time.
The Cardinals swept the Friday-Saturday series against the Baycats in Barrie, winning both by one run and dropping the Baycats to a 1-5 record.
