Angels closer Kenley Jansen hopes to make a run at 500 saves and beyond

Collects 29th save Jansen struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 29th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Astros.
Impact The veteran closer stuck a dagger in Houston's playoff hopes, firing 16 of 19 pitches for strikes as he fanned Jesus Sanchez, Ramon Urias and Mauricio Dubon. Jansen hasn't blown a save since June 29, converting 14 straight chances since the beginning of July with a 1.19 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over his last 30.1 innings. Jansen should attract plenty of interest this winter in free agency if he doesn't elect to re-up with the Angels, and he needs only three more saves to pass Hall of Famer Lee Smith for third place on MLB's all-time list.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • LATIMES.COM
Shuts door for 28th save Jansen secured the save Wednesday against the Royals, striking out two in a clean ninth inning.
Impact Jansen posted his 28th save of the season, and he hasn't permitted a single hit over his last nine appearances. Through 59 innings, the veteran right-hander has a 2.64 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB while blowing just one save opportunity. Jansen is headed for unrestricted free agency this winter, and he'll soon set his sights toward trying to become only the third member of the illustrious 500-save club along with Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. Jansen has 475 saves for his career.

He's up to 26-for-27 on save chances this year while maintaining a 2.83 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 50:18 K:BB through 54 innings.

Works scoreless ninth Jansen worked around a walk in a hitless and scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.
Impact The veteran closer got loose for what was going to be a save chance before the Angels tacked on an additional run with two outs in the top of the ninth. Interim manager Ray Montgomery still turned to Jansen despite it becoming a non-save situation, and Jansen needed 22 pitches to shut the door. Jansen has now worked three of the last four days and will presumably be unavailable for Wednesday's contest.

Snares 26th save Jansen picked up the save Tuesday against the Royals, walking one batter and recording two strikeouts during a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact Jansen had gone four straight appearances without recording a strikeout - his longest streak of the season - but he nabbed a pair of Ks in Tuesday's save opportunity. The 37-year-old closer is now one save away from matching his 2024 total, and his current 2.89 ERA would be his best since the 2021 season.
