Locks down 13th save Doval allowed a hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact This was Doval's second appearance since the All-Star break -- the Giants' seven-game losing streak entering Thursday had limited the need for manager Gabe Kapler to deploy the closer. Through 8.1 innings in July, Doval's been a little shaky, allowing four runs (two earned), eight hits and four walks while racking up 12 strikeouts. He's 13-for-15 in save chances with a 2.81 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 52:17 K:BB across 41.2 innings this season. This was the 25-year-old's first save in a month.

Handed fifth loss Doval (3-5) allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in two innings, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Brewers.

Impact Doval has allowed a run in four of his last five outings, though two of those four runs were unearned in extra-inning losses. He gave up an RBI single to Jonathan Davis in the 10th inning of Thursday's contest. Doval's recent struggles are a little concerning -- he hasn't logged a save since June 28, though the Giants' slump has been a factor in that as much as his own shaky pitching. He still has a 3.03 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB in 38.2 innings across 39 appearances while adding 12 saves, two holds and two blown saves.

Collects win Wednesday Doval (3-4) allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the win Wednesday over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Doval kept the game tied at 3-3 in the ninth inning, and Brandon Crawford hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the frame. This was Doval's first scoreless outing since June 28, though including Wednesday he's made just four appearances since that date due to the Giants' recent struggles. With Jake McGee designated for assignment and Tyler Rogers working more in the middle innings lately, Doval appears entrenched as the closer in San Francisco. He has a 3.19 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB through 36.2 innings while adding 12 saves, two holds and two blown saves in 38 outings.

Settles for hold Doval allowed a run on one hit and three walks while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning, earning a hold in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Doval was brought in to protect a three-run lead, but he instead allowed four of the six batters he faced to get aboard. He left the game with the bases loaded, and Sam Long was able to strike out Jordan Luplow to close out the game. Doval hasn't been terribly plagued by walks this year, but he's allowed seven of them in his 11 innings after a nearly month-long stretch without issuing a free pass. He owns a 3.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 43:16 K:BB, 12 saves, two holds and two blown saves through 35.2 innings this season as the Giants' main closer.

Gives up lone run in loss Doval (2-4) took the loss Friday versus the White Sox, allowing an unearned run on two hits while striking out two and walking none in one inning.

Impact It was Doval's own error that allowed Gavin Sheets to get aboard with one out. Doval struck out Yoan Moncada after that, but allowed a pair of two-out singles that led to a run. The Giants' offense wasn't able to do anything in the bottom of the ninth, leaving the right-hander with the loss. He's surrendered four runs (three earned) in his last five innings. Doval has a 2.88 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 42:13 K:BB across 34.1 innings while adding 12 saves, a hold and two blown saves in 35 outings.

Earns four-out save Doval walked one and struck out two in 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Dominic Leone got into trouble in the eighth inning, but Doval was able to bail him out by striking out Jonathan Schoop with the bases loaded. Doval issued his walk in the ninth, then escaped the jam by getting Javier Baez to ground into a double play. This was Doval's first save since June 18, as he'd seen three straight non-save situations. The hard-throwing righty has a 2.97 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 33.1 innings. He's added 12 saves, two blown saves, one hold and a 3-2 record while serving as the Giants' top high-leverage arm.

Duvall caps Braves' comeback in 9th for 4-3 win over Giants

Adam Duvall’s run-scoring single capped Atlanta’s three-run rally in the ninth as the Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3

JUNE 23, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Handed third loss Doval (2-3) allowed a run on two hits and a walk with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Monday versus Atlanta.

Impact Doval entered a 1-1 game in the ninth inning, but he pitched himself into trouble with a walk and a single. He gave up a two-out walkoff single to Orlando Arcia to end the close game. Doval's scoreless streak came to a close at 8.2 frames. The Giants' closer has been mostly steady in June while maintaining a 2.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB while logging 11 saves in 13 chances. This was likely a bump in the road for the right-hander, but he had a stretch in late May and early June of allowing runs in four straight appearances, so it will be important that he doesn't let this turn into a slump.

Earns eleventh save Doval pitched a clean ninth inning to pick up the save in a 7-5 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

Impact It was a dominant inning for Doval, who didn't allow a baserunner and threw nine of his 11 pitches for strikes. The game ended on a nasty 100.8 mph cutter to Daniel Vogelbach which caught him looking for strike three. Doval has now converted 11 of 13 save chances for far this season, and he boasts a 10.4 K/9 rate which is appropriate for a shut-down closer.

Perfect inning for 10th save Doval pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Pirates.

Impact Carlos Rodon threw eight shutout innings before Doval closed out the contests. The right-hander needed just 11 pitches (seven strikes) to retire Ke'Bryan Hayes, Bryan Reynolds and Michael Chavis in order. Doval's scoreless streak is up to 7.2 innings, a span in which he's allowed just two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. He's 10-for-12 in saves chances with a 2-2 record, one hold, a 2.54 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB across 28.1 innings overall as the Giants' primary closer.

Converts ninth save Doval walked one and struck out two in a scoreless inning to convert the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Doval walked Carlos Santana before retiring the next three batters in order. This was Doval's first save since May 30 -- he picked up a hold, a blown save and two wins in his last eight outings, and his scoreless streak is up to 6.2 innings. He owns a 2.63 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB across 27.1 innings while converting nine of 11 save chances this year. Doval remains the Giants' top options for saves, though Jake McGee and Jose Alvarez have also closed out games in June.

Credited with win Doval (2-2) was credited with the win Saturday versus the Dodgers. He walked one and struck out two in two-thirds of a scoreless inning.

Impact Sam Long started the game with three scoreless innings before turning the ball over to the bullpen. While Tyler Rogers was effective in two scoreless innings, Doval was rewarded with the win for escaping two-on, one-out jam in the eighth inning before Jose Alvarez converted the save. Through 25.1 innings, Doval owns a 2.84 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 29:10 K:BB, eight saves and a hold. He remains the Giants' top high-leverage arm, though games like Saturday's serve as a reminder that manager Gabe Kapler doesn't adhere strictly to defined roles for his relievers.

Picks up win Wednesday Doval (1-2) earned the win Wednesday, striking out one in a perfect inning versus the Rockies.

Impact Doval was brought in for the 10th inning and kept the game tied. He got the win when the Giants scored the winning run in their half of the frame. After a shaky stretch to end May that seeped into June saw him allow seven runs (four earned) in five innings, he's bounced back with three straight scoreless appearances. The right-hander has a 3.04 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 26:9 K:BB, eight saves and two blown saves through 23.2 innings this season.
