Gagne passes torch to Jansen in ceremony

LOS ANGELES -- Kenley Jansen has 162 saves for the Dodgers. Eric Gagne had 161.

Bullpen catcher Rob Flippo warmed them up for all 323.

The Dodgers held a pregame ceremony Tuesday night to mark the franchise record Jansen took from Gagne on Monday night when Jansen closed out a 4-1 win over the Nationals. Gagne was there to pass the torch, entering as usual to Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle."

"You guys have the greatest closer in Dodger history right here," Gagne said.

Jansen followed with 2Pac's "California Love," thanking Gagne for the congratulatory postgame phone call.
