Jansen Passes Gagne Atop Dodgers' All-Time Saves List

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Kenley Jansen earned his 162nd career save in Monday's 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals, and he passed Eric Gagne to take sole possession of first place atop the franchise's all-time saves list, per MLB Stat of the Day.

Monday's game was expected to feature a duel between Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw and Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg, but the latter was scratched from his start due to an upper back strain, per Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post.

Yusmeiro Petit replaced Strasburg, and the 31-year-old Venezuelan struck out five batters and allowed three runs over six innings to notch a quality start, yet he was unsurprisingly outdueled by Kershaw.
