Brian Wilson Closes Out Nailbiter
The Padres loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the 10th inning Wednesday against Giants RP Brian Wilson before rookie Colt Morton hit a sacrifice fly for his first RBI. Trailing 3-2, Khalil Greene flied out to center and Josh Bard walked to load the bases again. Tadahito Iguchi grounded out to end the game. Wilson got his sixth save in seven chances. He allowed two hits, one run and two walks. Wilson had been doing well up until Wednesday with five straight scoreless outings. By no stretch of the imagination is Wilson a dominant closer. He makes things interesting more often than not and it could get him in trouble down the road. Heck, he might even lose his job. However, he is still the team’s closer at this time and a No. 3 Fantasy RP. Wilson gave up two hits and walked two more without striking anybody out. He now has a 5:5 K:BB ratio which is making not only his own manager nervous but fantasy ones as well. (Rotowire, CBS Sports)
