Blows first save Jansen allowed a solo home run in one inning Tuesday to blow the save against San Francisco. He didn't allow any additional baserunners and struck out two.

Impact Jansen entered the game having successfully converted each of his seven save opportunities this season, but Brandon Belt ended that streak when he launched a solo shot with one out in the bottom of the ninth. Jansen recovered to strike out the next two batters, but the Giants ultimately walked off with the win in 11 frames. Despite the letdown, Jansen remains one of the more secure closers in the game and has posted strong numbers this season, including a 1.42 ERA and 16:4 K:BB over 12.2 innings.

Not yet 100 percent Jansen feels that his conditioning has not yet fully returned following his bout with COVID-19, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jansen missed the start of summer camp as he recovered from the virus, but he was able to return in time to lock down the Dodgers' closer role by the start of the regular season. The veteran indicated that he expects to add strength as the campaign progresses, though his stated lack of conditioning has not affected his performance in the early going. Through six outings, Jansen is a perfect 4-for-4 in save opportunities while allowing only one earned run and compiling a 6:3 K:BB over six innings.
