Caleb Kilian Allows Four Runs in Loss, Could he Lose the Closer Role?
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Caleb Kilian was unable to shut the door versus the Athletics on Thursday. He entered the game with a one-run lead in the ninth inning. Kilian gave up a leadoff single, but retired the next two batters. After that, Kilian allowed the next four batters to reach base, which resulted in a four-run outburst for the A's. Kilian would take the loss and suffer his second blown save of the season. This season, Kilian owns a 3.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 40:17 K:BB ratio with five saves across 34 innings. It was a bad outing, but the Giants don't have many other reliable arms out of the bullpen. They'll likely stick with Kilian and hope this was just a fluke outing.
