7 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen needed only nine pitches to preserve the 6-3 victory over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, earning his sixth save of the season. He induced two ground balls and a fly-out but didn't strike anybody out. Between the Dodgers bad start and Jansen's early-season woes, saves have been few and far between for the team. But even the most dependable guys (like Craig Kimbrel on Wednesday) get blown up from time to time and Jansen is generally trending up. He's still among the game's sturdiest closers, as Wednesday showed.--Mario Hernandez - RotoBaller
