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.

Hader issued a leadoff walk, and then had no issue getting through the rest of the Rays’ lineup while picking up his ninth save. He’s been dominant since returning from the injured list, and this scoreless frame lowers his ERA to a miniscule 0.61 over his 15 frames.

Josh Hader fired a perfect ninth inning against the Tigers on Saturday to record his seventh save of the season.

Hader was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the final frame and required just 11 pitches (seven strikes) to extinguish any hope of a Tigers comeback. He got Spencer Torkelson to ground out, coaxed a fly ball from Matt Vierling and struck out pinch-hitter Jahmai Jones to end it.

Josh Hader worked a hitless ninth with a two-run lead for his sixth save Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Hader walked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with one out, but he followed that with strikeouts of Kazuma Okamoto and Daulton Varsho. Hader has allowed one run and three hits and struck out 16 in 10 innings since coming off the injured list. Since he also pitched Tuesday, he’ll surely be down Thursday, which could lead to a save chance for Bryan King or Enyel De Los Santos.
