"It just means I'm going to be in the same company with Jose Mesa and Francisco Cordero," Rodney said of getting to 300. "That's the most saves from Dominican closers right now. I'm going to be in the same group as those guys."
Rodney, 40, will tie Bruce Sutter and Jason Isringhausen, who each have 300. Mesa has 321 and Cordero has 329.
If Rodney saves two more games, he'll become just the second pitcher to collect 40 saves in a single season at age 40 or older.
