Giles (2-4) allowed two runs on two hits in a blown save and took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers.
This marks Giles's first blown save in 10 opportunities since he took over the closer's role August 9 against the Twins. He was largely undone by an RBI triple from Elvis Andrus, who would eventually come around and score the winning run. Combined with the two home runs Giles has allowed since taking over the ninth inning, he is showing a concerning susceptibility to power hitting. His ERA sits at 3.64 despite a ridiculous 90 strikeouts in 59.1 innings.
