Jansen (1-2) walked two and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record the win in a 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Rather than hold Jansen back for a potential save situation, Angels manager Ron Washington sent his closer to the mound in the bottom of the ninth to keep the game tied at 3-3. While pinch runner David Hamilton did get to third base thanks to two stolen bases, Jansen stranded him by striking out Wilyer Abreu and coaxing a groundout from Romy Gonzalez. Reid Detmers then worked the 10th for the save when the Halos pushed a run across in the top of the frame. Since the beginning of May, Jansen has posted a shaky 7.94 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 11.1 innings, but he hasn't blown any of his six save chances during that time and his job as closer doesn't appear to be in any jeopardy.

Jansen worked a clean ninth inning, striking out one, to pick up the save during Monday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen's ERA might look a bit unsightly, but one bad outing is propping up the 37-year-old's 4.91 ERA. When there's an opportunity to lock down a game, he has been as reliable as they come, converting a perfect 12-of-12 save chances with 11 strikeouts and only one run allowed in those appearances.

Jansen walked two and struck out one over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After pitching four times in five days from May 16-20, Jansen had a couple of days off before the Angels' next save chance occurred. He made this one a little interesting, as he put two runners in scoring position, but he got Graham Pauley to pop out to end the threat. Jansen has given up just one run over his last 5.1 innings despite allowing at least one baserunner in all five appearances in that span. For the year, he's at a 4.96 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 16.1 innings while converting all 11 of his save chances, so his status as the Angels' closer isn't in danger.

Jansen allowed a run on two hits and struck out two over one inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen gave up a run in a save situation for the first time this season, but he had a three-run cushion to work with. He's had a heavy workload of late, pitching four of the last five days, which may explain his struggles Tuesday. The 37-year-old is up to 10 saves while adding a 5.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 15.1 innings. Should a save situation arise Wednesday, Ryan Zeferjahn, Brock Burke or Hector Neris could be options to step in, as it's unlikely Jansen will be asked to pitch three days in a row.

Jansen allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has kept runs off the board in his last three outings, spanning 3.1 innings. The veteran closer was able to picked up his ninth save of the season Monday, and his second save in three days, with a 16-pitch outing. He remains a perfect 9-for-9 in save chances while pitching to a 5.02 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over 14.1 innings.

Jansen allowed a hit over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Saturday's 11-9 win over the Dodgers. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has covered 2.1 scoreless innings versus one of his old teams in this weekend's series. He got through this outing with 16 pitches (13 strikes) while earning his first save since May 3. It's been a bumpy month for the veteran closer, but he's taking care of business in save situations. On the year, he has a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 13.1 innings, but he's been scored on only in non-save outings while converting all eight of his save chances.

Jansen (0-2) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk while failing to record an out, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen walked Elias Diaz and gave up a walk-off home run to Fernando Tatis in the ninth inning. This was not a save situation, as the game was tied when Jansen took the mound. Over five appearances in May, he's allowed eight runs across three innings while taking both of his losses on the year. Those two outings are the only ones where he's been scored upon, but they have him at an unsightly 6.55 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB over 11 innings. He's still 7-for-7 in save chances, and he'll likely keep the closer role if he can avoid melting down in save situations.

Jansen allowed one hit in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning during Friday's 4-1 loss to the Orioles. He did not record a strikeout or a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen entered in the top of the ninth with the Angels facing a three-run deficit and got some work in after battling an illness earlier this week. This was his first appearance since May 3. With his ailment seemingly in the rearview mirror, Jansen should soon add to his total of 454 career saves (fourth all time).

Jansen was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to an illness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen hasn't pitched since he collected his seventh save of the season Saturday. Manager Ron Washington said after Tuesday's game that the veteran reliever should be available out of the bullpen in Wednesday's contest, though that will ultimately depend on how he's feeling. Jansen owns a 5.79 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 9.1 innings on the year, though all the runs scored against him came during a six-run barrage from the Tigers on Friday.

Jansen retired the only two batters he faced in Saturday's win against the Tigers to earn his seventh save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old wasn't expected to be needed Saturday since the Angels entered the ninth inning leading 5-1, but Brock Burke was unable to close things out to create the save situation. Jansen's previous appearance Thursday was a disaster as he gave up six runs on three homers in a non-save situation, but that's the only time in 10 outings this season he's been charged with a run. His 5.79 ERA and 1.39 WHIP are inflated due to that prior outing, but Jansen has a 9:2 K:BB while converting all seven of his save chances this year.
