EDGE Analysis

Hader served up a game-tying home run to Kyle Higashioka in the ninth inning, which stuck the Houston closer with his first blown save of the year.

The long ball remains a problem, as Hader has given up eight homers in 42.2 innings this season, though he's largely remained successful by converting 25 of 26 save chances. He's added a 2.53 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 65:9 K:BB, ratios that are better than last year across the board.
