Secures another save Jansen earned the save over the Nationals on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.
Impact The right-hander had to sweat a bit in the outing, as he allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base. However, Jansen bounced back with a pair of strikeouts before getting Josh Bell on a lineout to end the game. The veteran closer has gone nearly two months without a blown save and has posted a sterling 1.34 ERA overall this season. Though he is on pace for a career-worst 5.6 BB/9, Jansen is thriving by holding batters to a .111 batting average.

Saves 18th game Jansen saved Sunday's 9-8 win over Arizona, striking out one in a clean ninth.
Impact Initially, it appeared Jansen would have the afternoon off but the Diamondbacks scored six runs in the bottom of the eighth to make it a one-run game, necessitating the closer's services.

Collects 17th save Jansen pitched a perfect inning to notch the save in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact The veteran closer didn't fan any batters in the outing, but he threw 10 of 13 pitches for strikes and had little trouble setting down all three hitters he faced. Since blowing a save due to an unearned run against the Cubs on May 5, Jansen has held opponents scoreless in 15 of 16 appearances and has gone a perfect 12-for-12 in save opportunities. His overall 1.57 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and .101 BAA on the season leave little doubt that Jansen remains one of the game's elite closers.

Impact Roberts didn't definitively say that the right-hander wouldn't pitch Tuesday, but it sounds like the skipper will do everything he can to stay away from using the veteran closer for a third-consecutive day. With Blake Treinen also pitching in the last two games, Joe Kelly could receive a save chance should the opportunity arise.

Notches 15th save Jansen pitched the ninth inning, allowing two hits and earning the save in the 5-3 win over the Rangers on Sunday.
Impact Jansen inherited runners on the corners with no outs in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead.

Jansen is 15-for-17 in save opportunities with a 1.69 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in 26.2 innings.

Records four-out save Jansen allowed a walk and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Jansen got the last out of the eighth inning and then worked the ninth for his second save in as many days. The 33-year-old ended the game with quick reaction time, snaring Ke'Bryan Hayes' line drive back to the mound. Jansen has a 1.75 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 30:19 K:BB across 25.2 innings this season. He is now 14-for-16 in save chances. After Wednesday's game, manager Dave Roberts said Jansen would not be available to pitch Thursday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Nails down 13th save Jansen picked up a one-out scoreless save that included a strikeout against the Pirates on Tuesday.
Impact After Nate Jones started to cough up a 5-1 deficit in the ninth by serving up a pair of home runs, Jansen was called upon to halt the Pirates' rally. He did so without a fight, sending his only batter down on strikes. The veteran right-hander has been solid this season, pitching to the tune of a 1.85 ERA and 1.03 WHIP while going 11-for-13 in save chances.
