Norberto earns first career save: Oakland reliever Jordan Norberto had to clean up closer Grant Balfour's mess on Tuesday night in Boston. Balfour gave up two runs and put more runners on in the ninth as he was on to protect a 5-1 lead in a non-save situation. Balfour was removed with two runners on base for Norberto, who shut the door on the Red Sox for his first career save. Norberto got a strike out and a ground out to end the game for the A's. Norberto lowered his ERA to 4.91 on the year. (Updated 05/01/2012)
