Nabs win in extras Jansen (2-4) picked up the win in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Mets, giving up an unearned run on zero hits and two walks in two scoreless innings. He struck out one.

Impact After keeping the game knotted a 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth, Jansen came back out for the 10th and allowed the phantom runner to score. Fortunately, the Dodgers had scored twice in the top of the frame. The appearance was the longest of the season for the veteran closer, and he hadn't been asked to get more than three outs since June 9. After taking a 1.24 ERA into the All-Star break, Jansen had a rough start to the second half that he only now appears to be shaking off -- despite not giving up an earned run in his last four appearances, he has a 9.00 ERA over his last 10 innings.

Another blown save Jansen (1-4) was tagged with the loss and a blown save Thursday against the Giants after giving up four runs on four hits and two walks through two-thirds of an inning. He struck o...

Impact Jansen has blown his last three save opportunities and it's safe to wonder whether he will continue to be the Dodgers' closer going forward. He was absolutely woeful Thursday and has been struggling of late, giving up eight runs on nine hits and four walks while fanning just three over his last three outings. Even though he has gone 21-for-26 in save chances this season, the fact that he has blown his last three save opportunities isn't an encouraging sign going forward. Plus, he owns a dreadful 12.71 ERA through seven outings (5.2 innings) this month.
