Picks up one-out win over former club
Jansen (4-5) recorded the win in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Dodgers, retiring the only batter he faced.
Analisi
The Tigers closer was brought in to get the final out in the top of the ninth inning with a runner on base and barely escaped, as Teoscar Hernandez drove a cutter into the left-center field gap that Javier Baez was just able to track down. Baez then doubled to lead off the bottom of the frame and came around to score the winning run, handing Jansen his third win since the All-Star break. In 12 innings over that stretch, Jansen has converted six of seven save chances with a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB.

Converts 17th save Tuesday
Jansen pitched a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout to record the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rays.
Analisi
After allowing two earned runs and blowing the save his last time out Wednesday, Jansen bounced back with a much better performance to secure his 17th save of the season in 22 chances. The active MLB saves leader hasn't been as sharp this year as he has been in the past, and his current 4.08 ERA would be a new career worst, but Jansen is still locked in as Detroit's closer due to his impressive track record across 17 seasons in the majors.
