Kenley Jansen is reinventing himself as a pitcher, yet his role as closer remains the same as the Dodgers pursue their first World Series title since 1988.

The entire 162-game season was a rehearsal. It was about finding a rhythm and trying to hold on to it tight as he confronted a humbling reality: He couldn’t rely on blowing cutters by hitters anymore.
“I know Kenley is our closer,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the team’s workout Tuesday. “I don’t see that as an option.” Los Angeles Times sportswriter Jorge Castillo and columnist Dylan Hernandez breakdown the National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Nationals.
