Kilian, who leads the team with four saves in five chances this season, steps into the ninth inning role after Ryan Walker’s struggles with control. With seven different relievers picking up saves this year, Kilian’s appointment brings much-needed structure to the bullpen — especially as he faces his former team, the Cubs, in the upcoming series. His journey back to prominence is far from easy, but his recent consistency proves he’s ready for the spotlight. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
