Kenley Jansen seemingly fell out of favor as Los Angeles Dodgers closer after struggling against the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series, but he has been on the mound in the ninth inning in the past two games, both of which were must-wins.
On Friday, Jansen struck out the side to wrap up a 7-3 win over the Atlanta Braves. He was summoned out of the bullpen again on Saturday and converted a save opportunity in a 3-1 win to help the Dodgers force the Braves to a Game 7 in the NL Championship Series.
