Former Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen is with the Braves now, and unlike his replacement in Los Angeles, Kenley actually made his team’s postseason roster.
Not only that, but Jansen reached a historic milestone on Wednesday evening when he closed out Atlanta’s 3-0 victory over the Phillies to tie their NLDS at one game each.
Jansen already had the second-most career postseason saves, passing Brad Lidge when he notched his 19th save in Game 3 of last year’s NLCS for the Dodgers against the Braves. Besides Rivera, Jansen, and Lidge, only four other pitchers have reached double digits in postseason saves: Dennis Eckersley (15), Jason Isringhausen (11), Robb Nen (11), and Aroldis Chapman (10).
