Ferguson picked up the save in a win over the Angels on Thursday, striking out two over a perfect ninth inning.
Ferguson entered the contest with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning and fanned the first two batters before retiring Nolan Schanuel on a fly out. It marked the right-hander's first save of the campaign and he's now produced six straight scoreless appearances. Ferguson has also posted two or more strikeouts in four of those six outings. Lucas Erceg worked the eighth inning Thursday, facing the Angels' 2-3-4 hitters, and Ferguson could be in the mix for regular save opportunities with Mason Miller on the shelf due to a fractured pinky on his non-throwing hand.
