Sep. 9 10:41 AM PT11:41 AM MT12:41 PM CT1:41 PM ET6:41 PM GMT2:41 AM 北京时间-Rodney has been suspended for three games and fined for throwing a ball toward the stands following a game last week. Analysis: The penalty, announced Tuesday by baseball vice president for discipline Bob Watson, comes after Rodney threw a ball toward the seats and into the press box at Tropicana Field following Detroit's 4-3 win at Tampa Bay on Friday night. No one was hit by the ball and Rodney - 2-3 with a 3.41 ERA this season - said afterward that he was throwing it to the fans.

Analysis: Rodney allowed only one baserunner, so there's little to be concerned about here. In his last 18 outings, he has a 2.25 ERA and opponents are hitting .191 against him.

Analysis: Called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning, Rodney promptly put the tying runs on base.
