Giles pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out the side to pick up his 29th save of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.
Giles protected the win for the newest member of the team, starter Justin Verlander. It was Giles' seventh consecutive successful conversion of a save opportunity. For a stretch from early July to mid-August, the Astros weren't giving Giles many save opportunities, at one point going 13 appearances with just five chances. Since Aug. 18, Giles has had six opportunities in his last eight outings.
