[edit] Major League career
Wilson made his major league debut on April 23, 2006, against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. In his debut, Wilson pitched two innings, surrendering two hits and no runs while striking out three batters.[1]
Wilson competed with Armando Benitez for the closer role in spring training 2007, but Wilson's 7.71 ERA caused the Giants to send Wilson back to the minors.[2] After spending much of the 2007 season in AAA Fresno, Wilson was called up in August. He was immediately used as the Giants' setup man, and was promoted to closer in September when Brad Hennessey began to struggle. Wilson converted six of his seven save opportunities and is expected to compete with Brad Hennessey and Tyler Walker for the closer role in 2008.[2]
