Secures 17th save

Jansen worked a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 17th save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Phillies.

Analyse

The veteran closer didn't strike out a batter, instead relying on his defense to get the job done on just seven pitches (five strikes). Jansen picked up after the All-Star break right where he left off, as he hasn't given up an earned run since June 15 and has a 0.75 ERA and 13:2 K:BB over 12 innings during that impressive stretch. With the Angels likely to be sellers once again at the trade deadline and Jansen a free agent after the season, the 37-year-old is a prime candidate to be shipped to a contender before the end of the month.
