Nails down 12th save
Jansen struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 12th save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Royals.
Analisi
The veteran closer needed only eight pitches (seven strikes) to get the job done. Jansen has a pristine 0.00 ERA in July over 7.1 innings, allowing just three hits with an 8:6 K:BB while converting all three of his save chances. If the Tigers decide to be buyers and not sellers at the trade deadline, bullpen help will likely be at the top of the shopping list, but Jansen's spot as closer seems relatively secure.

Extends scoreless streak Wednesday
Jansen tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs. He walked one and struck out one.
Analisi
Jansen was used in the ninth inning to close things out for the Tigers, though it wasn't a save situation due to the four-run lead. The veteran has righted the ship after a rough patch in May and June, as he's now logged seven straight scoreless appearances, during which he's recorded a win and two saves. Overall, Jansen has a 4.05 ERA and 30 strikeouts across 26.2 innings this season, and he leads Detroit with 11 saves.
