With Kenley Jansen on the mound the Los Angeles Dodgers snapped an overall three-game losing streak, stretch of dropping four straight games when tied or leading entering the ninth inning and captured an elusive one-run victory by defeating the Colorado Rockies, 1-0, on Friday.
Jansen also achieved redemption on an individual level by ending a streak of three consecutive blown saves. The second and third of those were on back-to-back nights and were further magnified by coming against the San Francisco Giants.
Jansen pitched with improved velocity and command en route to stranding a two-out walk to convert his 22nd save of the season.
