Giles (0-1) gave up four runs on four hits in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday, recording only one out by way of a strikeout while walking zero.
Giles entered a scoreless game in the ninth, and proceeded to give up a single to Aaron Judge and a double to Didi Gregorius before striking out Giancarlo Stanton. Giles laid in a first-pitch slider to Gary Sanchez, which the Yankees backstop deposited over the center field wall. After giving up a single to the next batter, Giles got the hook. The right-hander was riding a 1.80 ERA into Tuesday's contest, and had allowed runs to score only twice before through 11 appearances. Despite the Astros' 20-11 record, Giles has just three saves, as sometimes save opportunities are going to other guys like Chris Devenski (two saves). Giles should hold his role as primary closer as long as there aren't many other outings like Tuesday's.
