On June 17, 2005, Walker made history against the Detroit Tigers. He entered the game in the 9th inning with the bases loaded, and struck out the side for the save. This is the first time any pitcher had done so in the recorded history of saves, which began in 1969. With primary closer, Armando Benitez absent for 3 months, he filled in the role for closer. He converted 23 saves in 27 opportunities
