Both guys just need to bear down.
Actually in Grilli's case, he's probably just old but that's what you get when you rely on 39 year old relievers.

Zach Britton is also having a season for the ages so i'm not sure that is the best point of reference to compare. Osuna has also thrown basically 6 full innings more than Britton and is the 2nd most used closer in baseball behind Familia.
I don't disagree he needs to bear down but I do think Gibbons needs to do a better job of managing the work load on him.
