Rays pitcher Matt Andriese picked up his first career save Friday against the Blue Jays, as he pitched the final three innings of a 12-3 blowout win.
The right-hander allowed his only run on a one-out home run to Justin Smoak in the ninth inning. He gave up two hits and no walks, while striking out one.
Andriese's previous two appearances had been starts.
"The bullpen's been incredible. Matt Andriese, what he did tonight, asking a young pitcher that's been a starter to come in and provide three innings of relief is not the easiest thing to do. He got his first major-league save. It worked out. He helped us out a lot," manager Kevin Cash said, per MLB.com.
