Gearrin threw a clean inning against the Diamondbacks on Saturday to earn his first save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Before the save vultures rush to the waiver wire to grab Gearrin, we must note that the Giants' regular closer, Santiago Casilla, had throw in three consecutive days and was not going to be used Saturday. Gearrin's early success still needs to be monitored, however, as he has put together a 3.06 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and five holds through 17.2 innings. He doesn't strike out as many batters as Hunter Strickland, but he is used in similarly high-pressure situations, making him a solid source of holds.
