Ernesto Frieri served up a solo home run to Cody Ross in the ninth inning on Thursday, picking up his second blown save of the season.
Frieri also worked the 10th inning after the Angels scored a pair in the top half of the inning, allowing an RBI single to Dustin Pedroia, but escaping with the victory. His final line showed two runs on three hits over his two innings of work while striking out four. Frieri remains a solid closer option, and has converted 15-of-17 saves while posting a 3-0 record, 2.24 ERA and staggering 83/27 K/BB ratio over his 52 1/3 innings.
