Pressly pitched a perfect inning Friday, striking out one batter to notch the save against the Angels.
The closer entered the game without a save -- or a save opportunity -- since July 25. He finally found a path to his 19th save of the campaign by securing a three-run Houston victory with a perfect frame during which he threw seven of 10 pitches for strikes. Pressly's job security as closer is among the most airtight in the league given his 1.88 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 61:9 K:BB across 48 innings this season.
