Jansen notches 475th save as Angels win
Los Angeles Times
|September 26, 2025
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.
The veteran closer is just fourth pitcher to reach that plateau as his team averts a series sweep by the Royals.
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.
Luis Rengifo doubled and scored on Oswald Peraza's groundout in the second inning for a 1-0 lead.
