There could be several different etiologies to having blood in saliva. It could be something in your mouth bleeding-like gums, teeth, tongue. You may have a sinus problem causing some post nasal drip that has blood in it. Or, it could be coming from your airways. If the blood recurs of worsens, see your doctor so it can be diagnosed and treated. Best of luck to you!

Clearly you have bleeding somewhere, may be a slight bloody nose, or you may have coughed roughly. If it continues please get checked.
