Kenley Jansen is about the only reliable arm in the Dodgers’ bullpen. The problem has been getting the ball to him with a lead. This is one of the reasons his save numbers are not as high. The 6-8 innings have been a roller coaster ride in recent games. The timing of this bullpen collapse has come at the wrong time. Luckily it’s not October, thus giving Roberts some time to solidify it.
Two bright spots not named Kenley have been the deadline acquisitions. Tony Cingrani and Tony Watson have been great during this bad stretch.
