Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen struck out two during a 1-2-3 ninth inning to finish off a 2-0 win over the Royals Tuesday.
Much like the man he replaced, Jansen dominated the Royals hitters to move Clayton Kershaw to 8-2. The closer has found his groove in his last two outings, striking out five of the six batters he faced and retiring the other on a groundball. Jansen owns a 4.13 ERA and 55:11 K:BB ratio in 32 2/3 innings.
