ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Cam Bedrosian has the arm and confidence to be a future closer. The bloodlines, too.Just over 34 years after 1987 NL Cy Young Award winner Steve Bedrosian earned his first career save, his son closed out his first game Tuesday night in the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics.With Huston Street placed on the disabled list earlier in the day with a sore right knee, the Angels called on their young right-hander in the ninth. The 24-year-old struck out the side in order.Ive been looking forward to this for a while now, Bedrosian said. Its awesome to get the first one out of the way.In a game where all the runs came via five home runs, the Angels made their two homers matter the most.After Khris Davis and Coco Crisp hit solo home runs off Matt Shoemaker (6-11), the Angels tied it on Jett Bandys two-run homer against Sean Manaea (3-6) in the fifth and then took the lead for good on a three-run homer from Jefry Marte in the sixth.Manaea had posted a 2.65 ERA in six games since coming off the disabled list with a strained left forearm. He pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed five runs (four earned), six hits and three walks.Early in the game he looked really good, like weve seen him when hes at his best, As manager Bob Melvin said. Other than a couple of pitches, I thought he was pretty consistent.Shoemaker went seven innings for the Angels. He wasnt dominant (six hits, three walks, four strikeouts), but only allowed the two solo home runs. In his last seven starts at home, hes posted a 1.03 ERA.Its home, he said. Fans are on your side. You pitch here more so youre more comfortable here for the most part. You dont know how to explain those things.Davis has 27 homers this season -- already matching his career high set last year with Milwaukee -- and eight since the All-Star break.It seems like hes more and more confident up there as the season goes on, Melvin said. Anytime you switch leagues, theres a little bit of an adjustment period. He struggled a bit early, but since then hes been as good as any power-hitter in the league.Davis was hitting just .214 with eight home runs after the seasons first 35 games, but has hit .275 with 19 home runs since.The As were able to pull within a run in the eighth when Yonder Alonso hit a two-run home run off JC Ramirez, but in the ninth the Angels turned to Bedrosian. He struck out Max Muncy, Crisp and Jed Lowrie to earn the save.Bedrosian has been on an impressive roll prior to Tuesday. He has struck out eight consecutive batters overall and has not allowed a run in his last 25 appearances.Cams been awesome, Street said. Ive been impressed with him all year long. He has a great head on his shoulders and his stuff is obviously there. He has the right mindset and makeup. It was really cool to see him get his first one tonight.The Angels have now won nine of their last 11 games at home. They are 11-6 since the All-Star break.The win pushed the Angels one game ahead of the As in the AL West cellar.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: Melvin said catcher Josh Phegley, on the disabled list since July 2 with a strained right knee, is participating in all baseball drills but still not comfortable going in and out of a crouch. Its the second time this season hes been on the DL with strained right knee.Angels: RHP Mike Morin was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. Manager Mike Scioscia said he will go with a committee at closer with Street out. Street had an MRI Tuesday that showed no structural damage. He had a cortisone injection.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Kendall Graveman (7-7) had a career-high winning streak snapped at six games in his last outing against Cleveland. He is 6-1 with a 3.34 ERA over his last 11 starts.Angels: RHP Jered Weaver (8-8) began to salvage an erratic season in July (2-1, 3.57 ERA). He will face the As for the third time this year and is 14-11 with a 2.73 ERA against the As for his career.Greedy Williams Youth Jersey .

Winchester, who was not penalized for the hit, appeared to make contact with Kellys head early in the first period of Thursdays game in Boston.ATLANTA -- Chris Petersen chatted up Nick Saban while they waited to pose with the championship trophy, looking for any bit of insight that might help the College Football Playoffs rookie coach.No such luck.You know, Petersen said, breaking into a grin, hes pretty tight-lipped.The four playoff coaches were all together Thursday for a nationally televised awards show at the College Football Hall of Fame, not far from the stadium where Petersens Washington Huskies will face Sabans defending national champions, the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, in the Peach Bowl semifinal game on New Years Eve.The other semifinal matches Ohio State, coached by Urban Meyer, against Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers in the Fiesta Bowl.Petersen couldnt help but notice he was only one on the stage who hasnt been to the playoff. Alabama will be appearing for the third straight year, having beaten Clemson last season in a thrilling title game . Two seasons ago, Meyers Buckeyes won the championship after knocking off Alabama in the semifinals.Im the rookie up here, Petersen said. Ive just got my eyes wide open and trying to echo what they say and do.If he learned anything from Saban, it was not to say much of anything.The Alabama coach was asked a couple of questions about offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, who is reportedly in line to become the next head coach at Houston.I dont think anything has been decided about that officially, Saban said, with that last word effectively turning it into a non-denial denial. Im sure the University of Houston will make an announcement about who their coach is when theyre ready to do that.When pressed on whether Kiffin would remain at Alabama through the playoff, which culminates with the Jan. 10 title game in Tampa, Saban turned testy.We will make that decision when we have something to make a decision about, Saban said. Well do whats in the best interest of Lane, our program, our players, but I would think that he would want to finish the season with us. I cant speak to that right now. ... Im not going to answer any more questions about hypothetical situations.Petersen guided the Huskies to a Pac-12 title and a pplayoff spot in just his third year on the job.dddddddddddd. He previously coached at Boise State, where his reputation for a gambling style and major upsets was established in his very first season with a 43-42 victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.The Broncos sent the game to overtime with a 50-yard hook-and-lateral touchdown in the closing seconds of regulation, and then won it in overtime with another trick play on a 2-point conversion.Petersen might need some similar tactics to knock off the mighty Crimson Tide, which will be playing close to home after going 13-0 during the regular season, capped off by a 54-16 rout of Florida in the Southeastern Conference championship game.I know about their offense and I know about their defense, he said. Then I put on their special teams, and I got more depressed. Theyve got really good players and they dont give you anything.Meyer said he was very skeptical about the playoff system in the beginning, but hes now a big fan. Its certainly worked out well for the Buckeyes, who improbably won it all two years ago with a third-string quarterback and got in again this year without even winning their division in the Big Ten .Like most everyone else, I just listened to the people who thought they knew, and I didnt find out until the announcement, Meyer said.He watched it from a maternity ward, where his grandson was born a few hours before selection committee announced its decision.It was a great day, Meter said. That was a day you put in the win column.Despite a stunning home loss to Pittsburgh, Swinneys team is getting another shot at the title. The Tigers came up just short a season ago, falling to Alabama 45-40.We lost to a great football team, Swinney said. A great experience for our guys, and Im glad that were getting an opportunity to go compete again.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
