Caleb Kilian the Current Favorite for Saves in Giants Bullpen
San Francisco Giants right-handed reliever Caleb Kilian is the current favorite for saves in the Gigantes' bullpen after going 1 1/3 scoreless innings with a strikeout in Tuesday's win over the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers for the second save of his career. Kilian hasn't been perfect so far in May with three runs allowed (two earned) on four hits (one homer) while walking five (one intentional) and striking out three, but he has picked up two saves in his last 5 1/3 innings pitched and has been solid overall in his first season in the Bay Area with a 1.40 ERA (4.50 FIP), 1.09 WHIP, two saves, 19 strikeouts, and 12 walks in 19 1/3 innings pitched. The 28-year-old reliever is rostered in only 9% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available for managers desperate for saves. However, Kilian's high walk rate (15.2%) makes him pretty volatile in the short term. Additionally, lefty Erik Miller (back) will return from a stay on the injured list on Saturday, adding competition for saves in San Fran.
