Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Cam Bedrosian struck out the side for his first career save Tuesday night against the Oakland Athletics.
It took Bedrosian a total of 17 pitches to close out the Angels' 5-4 victory, striking out Max Muncy, Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie in the top of the ninth. Following the game, manager Mike Scioscia revealed that he originally intended to use a committee approach at closer with both Huston Street (knee) and Joe Smith (trade) unavailable, but the 24-year-old right-hander has displayed the potential to run away with the job.
Bedrosian owns a 0.90 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 32.48 strikeout percentage in 40 innings this season.
