ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Just 183 more saves, and Cam Bedrosian will catch his dad.

Bedrosian earned the first save of his major league career Friday, striking out the side in the ninth inning to preserve the Los Angeles Angels' 5-4 win over the Oakland A's at Angel Stadium.

Bedrosian's father Steve had 184 saves for the Braves, Phillies, Giants and Twins in a major league career that lasted from 1981-95. Cam got his first chance just hours after the Angels placed closer Huston Street on the disabled list with an inflamed right knee.

"It's huge man, I've been looking forward to this for a while now," said Bedrosian, who lowered his ERA to 0.90. "I know my dad's pretty proud of it."

Bedrosian certainly earned his opportunity, though he needed the injury to Street and the trade of veteran reliever Joe Smith to the Cubs on Monday to get his chance.

Bedrosian has now made 25 consecutive appearances without giving up a run, the fourth-longest streak in Angels history, trailing Francisco Rodriguez (30 games in 2006), Scott Downs (29 in 2013), and Ernesto Frieri (26 in 2012).

"We've had a number of closers here that you can look at over that stretch and see how dominant they've been," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "For Cam it's particularly important because if you look at his career, the bumps in the road he's hit, he has a lot of confidence now and his stuff will match up with anyone.

"He's throwing it all into good zones and getting outs, and getting strikeouts too."

Bedrosian got his chance because of a couple big home runs by catcher Jett Bandy and first baseman Jefry Marte and a solid outing by starter Matt Shoemaker.

Bandy's two-run homer in the fifth inning tied the game at 2, and Marte's three-run shot one inning later snapped the tie.

Both homers came off Oakland starter Sean Manaea (3-6), who gave up five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings.

"Early in the game he looked really good, like we've seen him when he's been at his best," A's manager Bob Melvin said of Manaea. "He just ended up being two pitches away. Other than a couple pitches I thought he was pretty consistent with where he was throwing the ball. Good life, good velocity, great changeup today."

Shoemaker gave up a couple home runs himself -- to Khris Davis in the second inning and Coco Crisp in the fifth -- but both came with the bases empty. Shoemaker (6-11) went seven innings, giving up the two runs on six hits and three walks.

The homer for Davis' was his team-leading 27th of the season.

"It seems like he's more and more confident up there as the season goes along," Melvin said of Davis. "Now's he's getting around the league where he's seeing teams for the third time and having a better understanding of how they're going to pitch him. Any time you switch leagues, there's a little bit of an adjustment period -- he struggled a little bit early on -- but since then he's been as good as any power hitter in the league."

The Angels (48-58) moved ahead of Oakland (47-59) in the American League West after the two teams went into the game tied for last place.

The Angels got the winning rally started in the sixth when they took advantage of a leadoff walk by Mike Trout and an error by shortstop Marcus Semien. Marte then turned on a fastball by Manaea and hit it into the bullpen beyond the left field fence for his seventh homer of the season.

Shoemaker took it from there, shutting down the A's through the seventh and handing the ball over to the bullpen.

JC Ramirez pitched the eighth and gave up a two-run homer to Yonder Alonso with two outs to narrow the Angels' lead to 5-4.

That set the stage for Bedrosian, who struck out the side -- Max Muncy, Crisp and Jed Lowrie -- to end it. The three strikeouts gave Bedrosian strikeouts of eight consecutive batters, tying the club record held by Nolan Ryan, who did it twice.

NOTES: Angels RHP Huston Street was placed on the disabled list with inflammation of his right knee, two days after giving up five runs in the ninth inning of a 5-3 loss to Boston. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said the club will go with a closer-by-committee in Street's absence. ... RHP Mike Morin was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake and INF Cliff Pennington was activated from the disabled list. The Angels had an extra roster spot after trading LHP Hector Santiago (to the Twins) and RHP Joe Smith (to the Cubs) and getting only one major leaguer, RHP Ricky Nolasco, in return. Nolasco will make his Angels debut Thursday. ... Oakland called up INF Tyler Ladendorf from Triple-A Nashville and activated RHP Andrew Triggs from the disabled list. RHP J.B. Wendelken was optioned to Nashville. Like the Angels, the A's had an extra roster spot available after Monday's trade of LHP Rich Hill (currently on the DL) and OF Josh Reddick.
