Kenley Jansen Picks Up 19th Save
1 year agoBoston Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen shut the door on the Oakland Athletics to secure a 4-3 win on Sunday. Jansen came in for the ninth in a one-run game and allowed just a walk while striking out one to notch his third save of July. The big righty has been solid for the Bo-Sox, pitching to a 3.23 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 36 strikeouts in 30 ⅔ IP. He also hasn't blown a save since May 13, although he has a few losses sprinkled in during that span. On a decent Red Sox team, Jansen has a good chance to eclipse thirty saves for the ninth non-shortened season in a row. It's been quite a career.
