Phillies closer Ken Giles was called upon to save the game Saturday not in the ninth, but in the eighth. He passed the test with flying colors and got a win as a bonus.
Giles struck out Addison Russell with the go-ahead run on base in the eighth. He then struck out two in a scoreless ninth and watched his team win it on a walk-off homer to raise his record to 6-2.
The right-hander has not allowed a run over his last 12 innings.
