Baserunning gets Braves again, NLCS slips away in Game 7
The Baby Braves still have some growing up to do, although they’re getting closerOCTOBER 19, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Earns second save of postseason Jansen picked up the save in Game 6 of the NLCS against the Braves on Saturday, throwing one scoreless inning without allowing any baserunners.
Impact A shaky start to the playoffs has put Jansen's role in some doubt, but he got the job done Saturday. As elimination-game save opportunities go, it was a relatively low-stress one, as he faced the bottom three hitters in Atlanta's order with a two-run lead. The Dodgers are evidently still willing to use the veteran in save situations, and he rewarded the team's faith this time around.
