Impact Longoria pinch hit for Ford Proctor in the top of the eighth inning Sunday and came up big with a two-run single to put the Giants up 3-1. The veteran has settled into a platoon role of late and does not have much fantasy appeal at this point in his career, but the big hit Sunday keeps the Giants' playoff hopes alive.

The closer then struck out Corbin Carroll to end the game and record his 26th save of the season. Sunday was the first time that Doval has allowed a run to score in September, and he is now 8-for-8 in save opportunities in the month.

In 10.2 innings this month, he owns a 1.76 ERA and 6:1 K:BB.

Jakob Junis - Following opener Sunday Junis will pitch behind opener Scott Alexander as the bulk reliever Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
