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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 so far this season, and he boasts a 10.4 K/9 rate, which is appropriate for a shutdown closer.
