Wilson began the 2017 season allowing no hits and no runs in his first 11 appearances (covering innings). The streak ended on April 29, when Melky Cabrera of the Chicago White Sox led off the 10th inning with a home run off Wilson. On May 9, 2017, manager Brad Ausmus stated that Wilson would be the team's closer, after incumbent closer Francisco Rodríguez had blown his fourth save of the young season.
