Dellin Betances struggled but managed to earn a save in the Yankees ' win Friday over the Angels.
Betances entered in the ninth inning, with the bases loaded and no outs, protecting an 8-3 lead.
He promptly gave up a single and two walks. All three of his inherited runners scored, and Betances gave up a run of his own, his first allowed this season, before retiring the side.
"When we had the bases loaded and Kirk was up, I was like ‘Man, this is right at our fingertips,’" Angels infielder Johnny Giavotella said. “But then Betances closed the door and put the game away. He’s a stud pitcher out there. He has really good stuff. It wasn’t any of our faults."
Betances earned his second save, and first since May 2.
