Chafin recorded his 19th hold in a loss to the Giants on Saturday, allowing two earned runs on two solo home runs over one inning.
Chafin walked away with the hold, but he helped set the stage for an eventual Athletics loss by giving up the solo bombs to Brandon Belt and Darin Ruf in a seventh inning the Giants entered trailing by a 5-2 margin. The veteran left-hander's issues with the long ball are an outlier, considering he'd allowed just one home run over 49.2 innings coming into Saturday.
