KENLEY JANSEN NEWS

Notches seventh save Jansen gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his seventh save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Mets.

Impact The right-hander has reeled off nine straight scoreless appearances after a shaky outing in his first game with Atlanta, and Jansen has converted all seven of his save chances so far for his new team. The hot streak has left him with a 2.70 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB through his first 10 innings on the year.

Racks up sixth save Jansen struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his sixth save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact The long-time Dodgers closer hasn't missed a beat since signing with Atlanta in the offseason. Jansen is a perfect 6-for-6 on save chances to begin the year with a 37.5 percent strikeout rate that would be his highest mark since 2017 if he can keep it up.

Collects fifth save jansen struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his fifth save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact The veteran closer had a shaky first appearance for Atlanta, but since then Jansen has delivered six straight scoreless outings with a 9:0 K:BB and five straight save conversions. The 34-year-old's 3.86 ERA looks out of place next to his 0.71 WHIP, 38.5 percent strikeout rate and 1.08 FIP.

Nails down fourth save Jansen walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 3-0 win over the Marlins.

Impact The former Dodger had a shaky first appearance with Atlanta, but since then Jansen has looked like his usual lock-down self, reeling off five straight scoreless appearances with a 7:1 K:BB while converting all four of his save chances. The 34-year-old has topped 30 saves in seven straight full campaigns, and he seems well on his way to ringing up an eighth.

Notches second save Jansen struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his second save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Padres.

Impact The veteran closer saw little use through the first week of the season, but Jensen is now 2-for-2 on save chances with Atlanta over the last two days. Will Smith worked the eighth inning Saturday and Collin McHugh the seventh, so if the team has another late lead to protect Sunday, it's not clear who manager Brian Snitker might turn to.

Earns first save of season Jansen recorded his first save of the season Friday against the Padres after tossing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.

Impact The veteran hurler endured a shaky debut with the Braves when he gave up three runs on three hits and a walk (with one strikeout) across one inning against the Reds on April 8, but he has bounced back since then and has posted back-to-back scoreless outings since then. He's not going to be the dominant closer he was during his prime years with the Dodgers, but he should continue to see steady work in high-leverage situations.
