Jansen pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

Jansen was on the hook for a walk-off loss Monday, but he had no trouble protecting a one-run lead one day later. He needed just 12 pitches (eight strikes) for the save Tuesday. The veteran closer has allowed just one run while striking out nine over seven innings in August. He's up to 24-for-27 in save chances while pitching to a 2.78 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB over 45.1 innings this season.
