Giles (0-1) was tagged with the loss Thursday against the Royals after allowing a two-run homer to Salvador Perez in the eighth inning.
He did strike out two, but the walk and the blast left Giles with yet another poor outing to start this season. He's given up runs in three of his four appearances, allowing a total of five in 3.2 innings. With Luke Gregerson having successfully converted his two save chances to start the year and Giles struggling, it doesn't look like the ex-Phillie is going to take over the closer role anytime soon.
