Tatis and Machado pulled off a double steal to put runners on second and third, but Rodríguez cooly struck out Jackson Merrill swinging and got Sheets to hit into a game-ending pop out. In putting out the fire, Rodríguez earned the first save of his career and lowered his ERA to 0.66, further bolstering his case for an All-Star selection.
