Jansen returns to form with 6-out save for Dodgers

The Dodgers closer got redemption by earning a six-out save on Tuesday night, helping Los Angeles beat the Astros 3-1 to force a Game 7 in the World Series.

Jansen had a blown save and a loss earlier in the Series when he hardly resembled the NL's top reliever during the regular season. He tied for the league lead with 41 saves and led the majors with a 97.6 save percentage. His 109 strikeouts ranked second in the NL among relievers.

Manager Dave Roberts had said before Game 6 that Jansen would probably only be used for three outs.
