TORONTO - Toronto closer Casey Janssen finished out the season in vintage fashion: six pitches and three outs.And despite the fact his 1-2-3 ninth inning came in a 1-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, the veteran right-hander got a nice ovation from the Rogers Centre crowd Sunday. Everyone knew it may be the last time the 33-year-old right-hander pitches as a Blue Jay after a major league career that began in Toronto in 2006.Janssen, who made US$4 million this season, faces free agency.Casey has had a tremendous career here, Toronto manager John Gibbons said after the game. Im not sure how itll all play out in the end, but he has to feel proud. I think the city appreciated him, and he really had a tremendous career here. He was here my first go-around, hes probably the longest-tenured guy here.He ought to feel good. Hes had a nice major league career to this point, and that will continue.Janssen was rewarded with a nice ovation from the capacity crowd if 45,901 as he walked off.It was great, he said.The California native converted 90 of 107 save opportunities as a Jay with 29 wins and 24 losses. He started 22 games for Toronto earlier in his career.I got promoted (to the major leagues), was a starter, then got the opportunity to close, he said. For that Im forever grateful.I just apologize to the fans and everyone that we couldnt bring a playoff and a championship here, because deep down inside thats all I wanted to do. Its disappointing in that regard.Janssen converted 25 of 30 save opportunities this season, while going 3-3 with a 4.03 earned-run average. But he had trouble rebounding from a virus suffered during the all-star break in the Dominican Republic.Going into the season finale Sunday, Janssen had a 6.75 ERA with opposing batters hitting .309 since the all-star break. Prior to that, he had a 1.23 ERA while limiting hitters to a .217 average.While he says he hasnt closed any doors yet, he faces having to possibly move on.This is all new to me. Saying goodbye is tough, he said. But I appreciate everything a€” the fans, the city a€”everything has been great. Im just grateful to finish the season healthy and go out on a nice note.He is the third Toronto pitcher to record three straight 20-save seasons, joining Tom Henke and Billy Koch.
