Jansen Clutches Save in Narrow Victory
by Jesse Garcia | Red Sox Correspondent | Sun, Jul 14th 6:47pm EDT
Kenley Jansen secured his 19th save of the season, allowing one earned run and striking out three over two innings as the Red Sox edged out the Royals 5-4.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a slightly rocky outing where he surrendered two hits and a walk, Jansen managed to hold onto the lead, albeit with a bit of drama. His performance today, while not pristine, still underscores his role as a reliable closer for Boston. With a solid ERA of 2.16 and a WHIP of 1.08 this season, Jansen remains a strong fantasy option, though his occasional wobbles might give managers slight pause. His ability to rack up strikeouts and generally maintain control should keep him firmly in the closer role, maintaining his value in all fantasy formats.
