He just can’t seem to be trusted anymore.
Last night against the Diamondbacks, Jansen let up another home run, this time to Eduardo Escobar in the 8th inning with the Dodgers already trailing 5–4.
Unfortunately, as I’m sure you all already know, Jansen has already tied his career-high in blown saves with a month left to go in the regular season. He blew a save back on Wednesday, August 27 and even before that appearance he hadn’t looked like himself for some time.
Since August 1, Jansen has allowed 3 home runs, 5 earned runs and 11 hits in 9 innings of work.
