Kenley Jansen has potentially pitched his last game for the Red Sox: The Red Sox officially secured the first win in Sunday’s doubleheader sweep over the Twins thanks to closer Kenley Jansen’s scoreless ninth inning.
The 36-year-old reliever punctuated his outing with a strikeout via 96 mph cutter against Minnesota’s Jose Miranda. It may also prove to be the final pitch of his Red Sox tenure.
Later on Sunday night (following Boston’s win in the second game), Red Sox manager Alex Cora revealed that Jansen would likely be heading to the injured list due to a sore shoulder.
