Ryan Walker - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Picks up 12th save Walker allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact Walker has retaken the closer role since Randy Rodriguez (elbow) was injured over the weekend. This was Walker's seventh straight scoreless outing, and he has racked up 10 strikeouts without walking a batter over 7.1 innings in that span. For the season, he's up to 12 saves, eight holds and four blown saves with a 3.57 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB through 53 innings. Walker is likely to go unchallenged for closing duties while Rodriguez and Erik Miller (elbow) are both out.

Last Night in Baseball: Freddie Freeman is Eyeing Some Weird MLB History

Notches 11th save Walker earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact With Randy Rodriguez (arm) unavailable Sunday, the Giants turned to Walker in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. The right-hander was able to work around Sal Frelick's two-out single to lock down his 11th save this season and first since May 25. Walker has been sharp of late, turning in six straight scoreless appearances and posting a 0.77 ERA over his last 11.2 innings. He'd be the favorite for the ninth-inning job going forward, should Rodriguez miss any additional time.
