Jansen got his save number 400 in his career

Kenley Jansen made history, becoming the seventh player in MLB to earn 400 saves, pinch-hitter Raimel Tapia hit a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Atlanta Braves 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Jansen, who had 41 saves last year in his only season with the Braves, faced four batters for his ninth save in 10 chances.

Triston Casas hit a two-run homer 442 feet off Braves closer Raisel Iglesias to make it 5-2 in the ninth as it was the first long ball Iglesias has allowed since last June 16, snapping a homerless innings streak of 42 2/3 innings.
