Rodney just misses out on Padres record

SAN DIEGO -- In the end, the only thing that came between Fernando Rodney and a 41-year-old Padres record was the back-right corner of the first-base bag at Camden Yards.

Rodney -- who was one out away from running his streak of consecutive innings without an earned run to 26 2/3 -- had his shot at franchise history snapped when Pedro Alvarez's seemingly routine chopper hit the base and bounced between the legs of Wil Myers. The play was ruled a hit, and Rodney had to settle for his 15th save of the season in a 10-7 Padres victory over Baltimore.
