ANAHEIM \u2014 The Angels tried a new bullpen recipe.<\/p>\n

Angels left-hander Mitch Farris, who had been a mop-up reliever for most of the season, recorded eight of the last nine outs and then Ryan Zeferjahn finished off the Angels\u2019 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Farris started the seventh with a two-run lead and he got within one out of finishing. He gave up a run, and then Zeferjahn entered with runners at the corners and Junior Caminero coming to the plate. Zeferjahn walked him to load the bases, but then he struck out Cedric Mullins, recording the Angels\u2019 first save since May 23. It was just their third since April 4.<\/p>\n

The Angels have had such trouble getting the job done in the ninth inning that Jordan Romano, who was released in April, is still leading the team with four saves.<\/p>\n

Since then, they tried right-hander Kirby Yates, but he had a few tough games in the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

The general assumption was that right-hander Sam Bachman, or maybe right-hander Chase Silseth, would be next on the list if Manager Kurt Suzuki looked for a new closer.<\/p>\n

Suzuki went with Silseth in the sixth, and then he surprised everyone by giving the ball to Farris in the seventh, with the top of the Rays\u2019 order due.<\/p>\n

Farris got through the Rays\u2019 best hitters with no problem in the seventh, and then worked a scoreless eighth. Suzuki gave him a chance to finish, having him face the top of the order again. He walked Yandy Diaz and gave up a run-scoring single to Jonathan Aranda.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Zeferjahn got out of the jam to lock up the victory for left-hander Sam Aldegheri, who gave up one earned run in five innings.<\/p>\n

It was a second positive outing in the two starts he\u2019s made this season. He has a 2.12 ERA in five games, bolstering his case to stay in the rotation spot vacated by Jack Kochanowicz\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

Both of Aldegheri\u2019s starts followed a similar pattern.<\/p>\n

On May 5 against the Chicago White Sox, he allowed the first four batters of the game to reach, including two walks. He ended up allowing two runs in the inning, and then nothing else through the fifth.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

This time, Aldegheri loaded the bases in the first, with two walks, before escaping. After that, he retired all nine hitters over the next three innings.<\/p>\n

When he got into trouble in the fifth, it was because of sloppy defensive execution behind him. Zach Neto made his 13th error of the season, which is the most among all major-league shortstops.<\/p>\n

Neto helped to make amends by starting a double play to end the inning with just two runs on the board.<\/p>\n

Aldegheri finished his night throwing 61% strikes, which was an achievement considering he threw 13 balls among his 22 pitches in the first inning.<\/p>\n

Just after Aldegheri escaped the top of the first, the Angels began with a surprisingly good offensive night against Rays ace Shane McClanahan.<\/p>\n

The Angels racked up eight hits against him on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Mike Trout and Jo Adell had singles in the first, and then Trey Mancini drove them in with a triple.<\/p>\n

Mancini is 4 for 12 with four RBIs in his first week back in the major leagues in nearly three years.<\/p>\n

Logan O\u2019Hoppe had one of the Angels\u2019 three hits in the third, producing two more runs. O\u2019Hoppe also doubled, giving him two straight multi-hit games. O\u2019Hoppe has hit .310 with a .931 OPS over his last 30 plate appearances.<\/p>\n
