Santiago Casilla escapes shaky outing with the save

Giants reliever Santiago Casilla may have lost his grip on the closer role despite getting the save Saturday night against the Brewers.

Casilla allowed a run scoring single to Ryan Braun in the ninth inning. He was charged with one run on two hits and no walks over one inning of work. He has converted 13 of 17 save chances, with a 1.82 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP over 49 1/3 innings of relief.
