Los Angeles defeated the New York Mets, 5-4, on Saturday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
Former Vol pitcher Ben Joyce recorded his first career MLB save for the Angels. He pitched a scoreless and hitless 1.1 innings, recording one strikeout. Joyce totaled 15 pitches, including 13 strikes.
Joyce was a third-round selection by the Angels in the 2022 MLB draft.
He played for the Vols from 2021-22 after transferring from Walters State Community College. Joyce did not play in 2021 due to rehabbing from offseason surgery.
He appeared in 27 games and started one contest during his final season at Tennessee in 2022. Joyce totaled 53 strikeouts in 32.1 innings pitched during the 2022 campaign.
