Kenley Jansen Slams Door on Royals in Tight Victory
by Emily Maingi | Red Sox Correspondent | Wed, Aug 7th 10:51am EDT
Kenley Jansen delivered a flawless performance, striking out three in 1.1 innings to notch a save as the Red Sox edged out the Royals 6-5.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a textbook display of Jansen's capability to shut down opponents when it matters most. His season stats, including a solid 2.95 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP, underscore his reliability in high-pressure situations. With 21 saves now under his belt, Jansen continues to be a vital asset for fantasy teams needing strong closing performances. His consistent strikeout ability (10.7 K/9) and tight control (3.13 strikeout-to-walk ratio) should keep him in the upper echelon of fantasy closers as the season progresses.
