Giles struck out two in a scoreless inning for his 12th save Monday against the Athletics.
Giles has bounced back from a blown save September 13 against the Rangers by converting consecutive saves with four combined strikeouts. He is now a sharp 11-for-12 with a 25:3 K:BB in 16 innings since taking over the closer's role August 9, as Giles has finally given the Astros some valuable stability in the back of their bullpen.
