Jansen bounces back with perfect Game 4 save

1476243668896

LOS ANGELES — Kenley Jansen wasn’t looking for redemption or atonement Tuesday, he just wanted to move on. He accomplished that when he emphatically slammed the door in the Dodgers’ 6-5 win of Game 4 in the National League Division Series, just a day after one of the roughest outings of his career.

Jansen struck out Stephen Drew and Trea Turner to open the ninth inning, then forced a weak grounder from Bryce Harper to get the game’s final out and ensure a Game 5 in Washington (Thurs, 2 or 5 p.m. PT, FS1). That last out required a great play from Chase Utley to flip the ball to Jansen at first, but there was no doubt the closer’s cutter was working in his seventh career postseason save.
