TORONTO - Casey Janssen spent the five days in between his 29th and 30th saves downplaying the significance of the total. Jaromir Jagr Rangers Jersey . But now that hes achieved the round number, he acknowledges its importance. "Its a nice little milestone," said Janssen. "I still want to close out as many games as I can to finish the year. I said it when I took the job, I just kind of wanted to take the opportunity to have my name be recognized around baseball as a guy who is a viable late-inning arm." Janssen was named Torontos closer in May 2012. He converted 22 of 25 save opportunities last season. Despite offseason shoulder surgery, Janssen picked up where he left off, locking down 30 of 32 chances this year. "It was hard to justify the injury early on," said Janssen. "I was telling guys that I feel like crap and I might have a one-two-three inning and theyre like, what are you talking about. It was hard to get through those first three months or so. I started to get into a nice routine, obviously I was further away from the surgery date and I hopefully Im able to power through this last stretch and get through the year." The shoulder condition has improved as the seasons worn on. Janssen, too, has been one of the more vocal Blue Jays about the unacceptability of the clubs poor performance. "This year has been a headache for me, a headache for a lot of guys," he said. "Im sure early on, I was driving the trainers crazy being in there trying to get right and feel comfortable. I started to feel a lot better lately and just bouncing back in catch and then out there on the mound as well so I guess theres a little satisfaction in that but bottom line, this season didnt go as planned. Although a successful personal season doesnt justify or doesnt sit well enough to overcome the disappointment." With a team-friendly club option for $4-million next season, Janssen is among a number of Blue Jays (Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion are others) who represent great value. Given Torontos bullpen depth aside from Janssen – power arms like Sergio Santos, Steve Delabar, Dustin McGowan, Jeremy Jeffress and lefthanders Brett Cecil and Aaron Loup – general manager Alex Anthopoulos could use a reliever or two as a trade chip. The Jays have needs in the starting rotation, at second base, at catcher and possibly in the outfield. Anthopoulos could use a reliever as trade bait and still have plenty left were a move to be made. In the meantime, Janssen will continue to pitch when needed and attempt to set an example both on the field and off. "I dont know if I ever would have imagined being a closer saving 30 games but I wished, I thought and I hoped I could and it was just a matter of getting the opportunity," he said. "Its a nice little milestone but hopefully theres a lot more to go."

Kershaw rebounded with seven dominant innings and got two-run homers from Yasiel Puig and A.J. Ellis as the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 on Saturday night. Two days after clinching their first division title since 2009, the Dodgers turned to their ace who delivered a gem as he struck out 10 and allowed just three hits. Kershaw (15-9) lowered his major league-best ERA to 1.88. He leads the NL with 224 strikeouts. The left-hander was held out of his last start on Wednesday to allow him more rest as the playoffs approach. "I felt good, so I guess thats a bonus," Kershaw said. A little bit erratic at first with the fastball but A.J. did a real good job of making me use all my pitches on both sides of the plate." In his previous three September starts, Kershaw wasnt as sharp as normal, going 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA. Kershaw is trying to become the first pitcher to lead the majors in ERA in three consecutive seasons since Atlantas Greg Maddux from 1993-95. The last Dodger to finish a season with a sub-2.00 ERA was Sandy Koufax (1.73) in 1966. San Diego had Kershaws number this season, defeating him in all three previous starts. The 2011 Cy Young Award winner was 0-3 with a 4.67 ERA in his first three starts against the Padres, while going 14-6 with a 1.71 ERA in his other starts. "(San Diego) is a tough team. They battle me," Kershaw said. "They put good at-bats on me and always seem to get my pitch count up. I felt good to finally get a win against these guys." Said Padres rookie second baseman Jedd Gyorko: "I think the difference was being able to get those key hits. You cant get him all the time and he kind of got us. Id say our at-bats were just as good as any other game against him. We just couldnt push through." San Diego had runners on first and second in the first with one out and men on second and third with no outs in the third and couldnt scorre either time against Kershaw. Braydon Coburn Lightning Jersey. "Theyve been successful against him the last couple of years," Ellis said. "They grind him better than any team hes faced throughout the season. Hes kind of become a one-sided guy against these guys. Fastball in, slider, occasional curveball (with) two strikes. I think he was ready for something different." Ellis homered in the fourth off rookie Burch Smith (1-2). "It was a changeup that was a little bit up that ran into his bat," Smith said. Puig then connected on a shot to centre field off Tim Stauffer in the seventh that was estimated at 457 feet. Kershaw reached on a bunt single to lead off the inning. Kershaw retired 14 of his last 15 batters. Relievers Ronald Belisario and Brian Wilson each pitched a perfect inning for the Dodgers. Los Angeles played all of its starters, except shortstop Hanley Ramirez. The Dodgers held out all of their regulars in a 2-0 loss to the Padres on Friday night, one day after clinching their first division title since 2009. Smith gave up two runs on three hits in six innings. The rookie struck out six and walked a career-high five. NOTES: Dodgers manager Don Mattingly is resting Ramirez to help him recover from back and hamstring injuries that have plagued him throughout the season. Ramirez is expected to see limited playing time before the post-season. ... Dodgers OF Andre Ethier (sprained left ankle) missed his eighth straight game. Ethier, who took batting practice and did running drills before the game, could return when the Dodgers start a three-game series at San Francisco on Tuesday. ...
