CLOSER Kenley Jansen, left, is congratulated by teammate Taylor Ward after the Angels beat the Royals 3-2 on Wednesday night.
Taylor Ward homered, Kenley Jansen earned his 475th career save and the host Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Wednesday night to avoid a series sweep.
Only four pitchers have at least 475 saves: Jansen, Mariano Rivera (652), Trevor Hoffman (601) and Lee Smith (478)
Yusei Kikuchi (7-11) gave up just one hit while striking out six over five innings. He exited the game because of a finger cramp before the sixth inning. Jansen struck out two in the ninth for his 28th save.
