Secures save despite shaky outing
Jansen worked around a hit and two walks to pitch a scoreless inning and secure the save in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Brewers. He struck out one.
Analyse
Jansen was probably fortunate to have a three-run lead, as he got some traffic on the bases in the ninth inning but ultimately shut things down for his sixth save of the year in seven chances. The veteran reliever has a sparkling 1.35 ERA and has struck out eight batters across 6.2 innings so far. Even at the age of 38, Jansen continues to look like an effective MLB closer, and the Tigers seem comfortable with him in that role moving forward.

Picks up save vs. former team
Jansen earned the save in the Tigers' 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing one hit with no strikeouts or walks in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analyse
Jansen gave up a single to Willson Contreras but needed just nine pitches to record the next three outs, earning the save against the team he suited up for in 2023 and 2024. Jansen has converted five of six save opportunities this season (including four straight) and has a 1.59 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over 5.2 innings.
