Giles retired the Pirates in order Wednesday to preserve a 5-4 victory and record his fifth save of the season.
He struck out two batters and produced a lineout to short. Since he's reclaimed the closer role, Giles has allowed three runs (two earned) in six innings, but he also has nine strikeouts, four saves and no blown saves in six outings. He owns a 3.58 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 78 strikeouts in 50.1 innings.
