TORONTO, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The Toronto Blue Jays said Monday they have inked relief pitcher Casey Janssen to a two-year contract.

Janssen was rewarded for a solid season last year in which he recorded a 6-0 record with a 2.26 ERA and two saves.

The 30-year-old hurler's new deal is worth $5.9 million and includes a $4 million club option for a third season.

Janssen has amassed a 21-19 record with a 3.81 ERA in 221 appearances -- 22 starts -- in his five major-league seasons, all with the Blue Jays.
