ANGELS: K-Rod Goes Nuts

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim closer Francisco Rodriguez had a rare blow-up and let the Mariners back in the game with three earned runs on three hits and a walk while recording just one out in a blown save on Wednesday.

BOTTOM LINE: He was also ejected for arguing balls and strikes. K-Rod has been one of the best closers in the game this season, but he has hit a bit of a rough patch. Look for him to come back smoothly.

ANGELS: K-Rod Having Magical Year

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim closer Francisco Rodriguez recorded his major league best 44th save in 47 chances Monday.

BOTTOM LINE: He has been by far the best closer in baseball this year, and he is only 13 saves away from the record. He may become a free agent following the season, and he could probably get $15 million per season or more. We will wait and see.

ANGELS: K-ROD is Human

Anaheim Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez blew only his second save of the season in Wednesday’s loss to the Mets. Prior to this, K-ROD had converted 25 straight save chances successfully.

BOTTOM LINE: Jose Reyes started the rally with a single, and he advanced to second on a wild pitch. With two outs, David Wright flared one into left to tie the game. Rodriguez was very upset with himself. But, he should remember that he leads the majors with 28 saves in an awesome campaign thus far.
