## Resource

The Giants have named Caleb Kilian their new closer, aiming to stabilize a struggling bullpen ranked dead last in key categories. After trading key relievers and underinvesting this offseason, the team is banking on Kilian’s recent surge—four saves in five chances and a rebounding June—to turn things around. Former closer Ryan Walker will now pitch earlier in games, hoping clearer roles unlock better performance across the unit. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
