Braves' Kenley Jansen: Gets win despite second blown save

Jansen (3-0) picked up the win despite blowing his second save of the season Tuesday, giving up two runs on a hit and a walk in an inning of relief in a 6-5 victory over the Phillies.

Entrusted with a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Jansen served up a two-run homer to Bryce Harper but then got bailed out when Atlanta scored twice in the bottom of the frame. The veteran closer has given up runs in three straight appearances, sending his ERA soaring to 3.86 on the year, but his 0.86 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 18.2 innings remain sharp.
