Jansen was awarded the win in Wednesday's wild-card victory over the Cardinals after striking out three while allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
Manager Dave Roberts turned to Jansen to keep the game tied at 1-1 in the top of the ninth, and the decision paid off. He worked around a one-out single by Tommy Edman, allowing Chris Taylor to win the game with a walkoff homer in the bottom of the inning. Jansen now owns a 2.35 ERA in 50 career playoff appearances. Notably, he's only recorded a save in 18 of those, so expect Roberts to continue using him in non-save situations as needed.
