Brian Patrick Wilson (born March 16, 1982 in Londonderry, New Hampshire) is a closer for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball.

[edit] Major league career

Wilson made his major league debut on April 23, 2006. In this debut, Wilson was pitching as a closer, as he pitched two innings, surrendering two hits and no runs while striking out three batters.^[1]

Wilson was the closer in spring training 2007, but his 7.71 ERA caused the Giants to send him back to the minors.^[2] After spending much of the 2007 season in AAA Fresno, Wilson was called up in August and was immediately used as the Giants' closer again. He converted six of his seven save opportunities and became the Giants' full-time closer in 2008. On June 6, 2008, Wilson was named to the All-Star team for the first time and gave up no hits and struck out one in 2/3 innings. He has been the Giants' closer from his debut as the Giants' full-time closer until present day.

Brian Wilson recorded 24 consecutive saves between May 2, 2008 and August 20, 2008. He stars in Life of Brian, a reality show about him on CSN Bay Area ^[3] and goes by the nickname "B-Weez".
