Kenley Jansen immediately found himself in a jam in the ninth inning on Sunday, but he was one out away from getting the Los Angeles Dodgers a sweep of the San Diego Padres. Instead, the Dodgers were the team to squander a lead in a loss.
Had Jansen converted the save opportunity, the Dodgers would have won games in which they trailed by two runs, three runs and four runs, respectively. Pitching for a third straight day, Jansen surrendered a leadoff single to Eric Hosmer.
Then a mixture of miscommunication and misfortune led to the Padres loading the bases with a pair of bunt singles.
