Giles notched his fifth save of the season, pitching a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.
Manager A.J. Hinch sent Giles out for a second straight game to close out a win, a sign of the manager's returning confidence after the closer's four-run meltdown in a non-save situation against the Yankees last week. He hadn't pitched since that game before picking up saves Tuesday and Wednesday. Giles' role had not been clear for much of April, but Hinch appears to have settled on the right-hander as the team's closer. He hasn't blown a save opportunity yet with eight of his 14 appearances being clean, 1-2-3 innings.
