Jansen makes quick work of P.R. in debut
Closer Kenley Jansen discusses playing for the Netherlands in the past as a catcher and joining the team for the 2017 World Baseball ClassicJansen, who drew loud cheers from the fans at his home ballpark, retired the side in order on just nine pitches. He opened with three straight swing-and-miss cutters -- touching 96 mph on the third -- to the Mets' T.J. Rivera for the first out. The next batter, Mike Aviles, took two called strikes and whiffed for Jansen's second strikeout, and the brief relief appearance ended with Angel Pagan grounding out to second.
