Diaz retired the only batter he faced to earn his 12th save of the season Friday versus the Angels.
The Angels made a late push, as they narrowed Seattle's lead to three runs and brought Mike Trout to the plate as the tying run, but Diaz induced a harmless flyball to center after a seven-pitch at-bat. This was a positive sign, as Dias blew his first save of the season his last time out and had allowed five runs in his previous 5.2 innings.
