Ross struck out the only batter he faced to record his first career save in Boston's 7-5 win over Philadelphia on Friday night.

EDGE Analysis

Ross was asked to quench the flames as the Phillies put three runs on the board against closer Jean Machi. He struck out Ryan Howard on three pitches to log the save, and with the Red Sox bullpen in a state of collapse, he could be a candidate for more save chances in the future. However, it should be noted that the left-handed Ross was given this assignment to face the lefty swinging Howard so a good match-up situation may have had a significant impact on the decision.

Ross notched his third consecutive hold Wednesday night, throwing a scoreless eighth inning in a 3-0 win over the White Sox.
