Vodnik took over with a two-run lead to protect and immediately made things interesting by issuing a leadoff walk to Jo Adell. He then got Nolan Schanuel to bounce into a double play before allowing a two-out single to Logan O’Hoppe that once again brought the tying run to the dish. The 25-year-old hurler bore down though and struck out Christian Moore to end the ballgame. For the season, he holds a terrific 2.92 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 47/24 K/BB ratio over 49 1/3 innings while recording seven saves and four victories.

Vodnik pitched around a single to close out the Angels in a one-run game in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old right-hander’s save was his ninth of the season and he lowered his ERA to 2.98 in the process. With a strong finish to the season, Vodnik could have the inside track on the Rockies’ closer job in 2026.

Vodnik gave up a run on a fielder’s choice in the ninth, and it came with the Rockies leading 4-1. It hurts Vodnik’s ERA, but didn’t make much of a difference in terms of picking up the save. He now has eight of those, and his ERA is still a healthy — especially considering his home park and the players behind him — 3.11.

Vodnik put the tying run at the plate after giving up a hit and a walk, but the 25-year-old was able to wiggle out of the jam and procure his seventh save. The right-hander now has a 3.05 ERA on the season, and certainly seems like the favorite to be the closer for the Rockies to open 2026.

Is Victor Vodnik becoming a solid closing option? Enquiring minds want to know. The answer to that is subjective, but he hasn’t blown a save since the All-Star break, and the only runs he’s allowed in August came in the 20-1 debacle against the Blue Jays. You can probably find a better closing option than Vodnik, but he’s better than nothing. How’s that for a recommendation?

A Hunter Goodman home run gave the Rockies a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning, so Vodnik quickly warmed up and then didn’t allow a baserunner in the ninth inning. He did allow a shot to the wall in left center field by Thomas Saggese, but no damage was done. Vodnik now has four saves on the season, but may need some time off after also getting five outs in a save chance on Tuesday.

Vodnik allowed just one hit and he was able to strike out three while working the final 1 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old has saved three games in 2025, and while the Rockies won’t provide a ton more chances, he’s pitched well enough suggest he should see most of those opportunities for the remainder of the year.

Vodnik will step away from the Rockies’ bullpen while his family gains a new member. Sounds like two blessings. Nick Anderson is up from Triple- Albuquerque to take Vodnik’s spot in the relief corps.

Vodnik took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a one-run lead over the Reds to close out the game. He gave up a single and a triple to tie the game before a fielding error brought the winning run in to score for the Reds. Vodnik was attempting to work back-to-back saves after recording his second save against Cincinnati on Friday as he’s shared save chances with Seth Halvorsen.

Converting his first save since April 6th, Vodnik had to work around some trouble here. He allowed a lead-off double to Santiago Espinal and intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz soon thereafter. Yet, he struck out the other three batters he faced with fastballs that topped out at 101.4 mph to finish off this save.
