Jansen struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings of relief Tuesday to record his 22nd save of the season in a 9-4 win over the Rangers.

The veteran closer got the final out in the top of the eighth inning to protect a 6-4 lead, and his job then got a lot easier when Boston tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the frame. Jansen blew two of his first three save chances coming out of the All-Star break but appears to have worked through the rough patch, delivering four straight scoreless appearances with a 6:1 K:BB.
