Kenley Jansen Moves to Third All-Time in Career Saves

Tigers closer Kenley Jansen made history Tuesday night, recording his 479th career save in a 2-1 victory over the Royals. This milestone moves him past Lee Smith for sole possession of third place on the MLB all-time saves list, trailing only Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. Jansen continues to solidify his Hall of Fame resume with his dominant presence in the Detroit Tigers' bullpen, as noted in recent league-wide closer rankings.
