Los Angeles Angels – Ernesto Frieri struck three men out in the 11th inning, nailing down his first career save. Frieri has been nothing short of dazzling (8.2 IPs, 0 ERs, 0 hits, 19 Ks) since being acquired from the Padres. While Mike Scioscia has said the Angels would “mix and match” in the 9th inning, Frieri’s dominance means he’ll get the bulk– if not all– of the opportunities going forward. Hierarchy change: Ernesto Frieri to Closer, Scott Downs to Set-up.
