The Los Angeles Angels survived a ninth-inning bases-loaded scare to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Friday night. Trey Mancini hit a two-run triple to give the Angels an early lead, rookie Sam Aldegheri tossed five strong innings and Ryan Zeferjahn struck out Cedric Mullins with the bases loaded in the ninth to help the Angels beat the Rays.

Zeferjahn walked Junior Caminero on four pitches after replacing Mitch Farris with two on and two outs. He struck out Mullins swinging on a 2-2 pitch for his second save, sealing the Angels’ third straight win.
