Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen’s two clean outings in a row trigger optimism

Will Kenley Jansen be a reliable reliever for the Dodgers in October? “He’s peaking, I think,” Roberts said, “at the right time.” Clean outings had become rare for Jansen. Just got to keep repeating that.” Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen celebrates with catcher Russell Martin after a win over the Orioles on Thursday night. The pitch mix changed over the course of a rocky summer — by Jansen’s standards — as rumors swirled about the Dodgers’ pursuit of elite late-inning relief help ahead of the trade deadline. “Let me tell you: If that’s the Kenley Jansen the Dodgers see in October,” ESPN’s Matt Vasgersian declared, “it’s going to be a different story this fall.”
