Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen hit a batter and allowed a hit in a scoreless ninth inning while striking out one en route to his 36th save in a 2-1 win over the Padres on Saturday.
Jansen has had a ridiculous season for the Dodgers and he's the only reliable arm in their bullpen right now. The perfect scenario played itself out on Saturday, as Zack Greinke went eight strong innings and was able to hand the game to Jansen in the ninth. Jansen now holds a 2.41 ERA and 0,78 WHIP in 52 1/3 innings this season while striking out 80 batters.
