Wilson K’s the Side for 16th Save
Bengie Molina homered and drove in three runs, Brian Wilson struck out the side for his seventh straight save, and the San Francisco Giants defeated the error-prone Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Wednesday. Wilson struck out the top of the Diamondbacks’ order — Felipe Lopez, Ryan Roberts and Justin Upton — to record his 16th save in 19 chances and lock up the victory for Barry Zito (3-6), who went five shaky innings. Wilson might not always have a 1-2-3 inning, but he has been among the top NL save leaders the last two seasons and has averaged a strikeout per inning. Wilson continues to pass as a viable Fantasy RP.
