Dodgers: Kenley Jansen Motivated by Bullpen Competition Says Former Dodgers GM

Kenley Jansen brought out some vintage stuff for this past Sunday’s ninth inning against the Nationals. Jansen certainly heard the doubts about him from the media and fans after blowing a save opportunity earlier in the week against the then winless Oakland Athletics.

Former Dodgers GM Ned Colletti joined AM 570’s David Vassegh after the Dodgers finished their sweep of Washington. Jansen flat out dominated the Nationals in the ninth inning (2 K, 0 H, 8 pitches) to seal the victory.

Colletti credited the success of fellow relievers Corey Knebel and Blake Treinen for motivating Jansen.
