Josh Hader retired all six batters he faced in the ninth and 10th to pick up a win Monday against the Giants.

Hader hadn’t gotten more than three outs in an appearance this season, but the Astros asked him to continue after an 11-pitch ninth tonight and he needed only another 11 pitches to get through the 10th. Hader lowered his ERA to an even 1.00 through 27 innings. He’ll probably get Tuesday off after this, perhaps setting up a save chance for Bryan Abreu.

Josh Hader got the final two outs and picked up the save against the White Sox on Saturday.

Hader didn’t start the ninth inning with the Astros leading 4-0, but came in after back-to-back one-out singles made the score 4-1. The 32-year-old left-hander promptly struck out Luisangel Acuña and Braden Montgomery to end the game. Hader looks as good as ever this year with a 1.35 ERA.

Bryan Abreu struck out two batters in a scoreless inning to earn the save on Wednesday against the Marlins.

Covering for Josh Hader who’d pitched in three of the Astros’ last four games, Abreu easily dispatched of the Marlins here. It was his first save since June 13th as Hader hasn’t missed a beat since returning from injury, so don’t expect any more save chances unless there’s a major shakeup in this bullpen at the trade deadline.

Josh Hader tossed a scoreless ninth against the Marlins for his 11th save Tuesday.

Hader struck out one in a 12-pitch inning. The Astros also had him finish an 8-4 game on Monday, so he’ll probably get Wednesday off after this, potentially putting Enyel De Los Santos or Bryan Abreu in line for a save.

Josh Hader gave up an RBI single and didn’t record an out while taking a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

It’s the first loss of the season for Hader. The 32-year-old gave up a pair of hits without recording an out, and then an RBI single from Brandon Nimmo gave the Rangers the win. Even with the struggle Sunday, Hader still has an ERA of 1.17, and to say he’s in no danger of giving up his closing gig is the understatement of understatements.

Josh Hader got one out for a save Tuesday against the Nationals.

Using Hader for a third straight day wasn’t the plan. Alimber Santa opened the ninth with a 6-2 lead and gave up a homer and a single while getting two outs. The Astros went to Hader then, and the lefty allowed an infield single and a walk before striking out Dylan Crews to end the game. He’ll certainly be off Wednesday after this, so Bryan Abreu might wind up with a save chance.
