Before the Dodgers finish off their four-game series against the Cubs on Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field, let's appreciate the closer who is off to arguably the best start of his career.
Kenley Jansen got the save on Wednesday night, striking out a batter to give him 23 strikeouts in 13u2154 innings this season. But the key number so far for Jansen is zero.
As in no walks.
Jansen has 23 strikeouts and no walks, the most strikeouts by a Dodgers pitcher before his first walk of the season, dating back to at least 1914.
