Royals' late-season skid reaches 5 with 2-1 loss to Giants, who get 3 hits from Ramos

The Kansas City Royals’ late-season losing streak stretched to five with a 2-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants, who got three hits from Heliot Ramos

Loses again Sunday Doval (5-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out one over one inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Padres on Sunday.

Impact Doval worked the 10th inning but couldn't keep the Padres in check. He had appeared to stabilize his performance after returning from a stint at Triple-A Sacramento in August, but he's faded again in September, allowing nine runs (eight earned) over 6.2 innings this month. Doval is now at a 5.17 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 71:36 K:BB with 22 saves and three holds over 54 innings, but he could be out of the high-leverage picture by the end of the campaign given his current trend.

Takes second loss Doval took the loss against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing a run on one walk over one inning while striking out one.

Impact Doval didn't have his best stuff when he took the mound in the seventh inning, issuing a leadoff walk to Willy Adames before then being charged with three wild pitches in the frame - the latter of which would lead to Adames coming home to give Milwaukee a 1-0 lead. The right-hander is having an awful September as a middle reliever for San Francisco as he's now allowed at least one run in four of six appearances this month, pushing his season-long ERA up to 5.02. He's also allowed one or more runs in back-to-back outings.

Snags win Tuesday Doval (5-1) allowed a hit and two walks while striking out two in a scoreless inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Brewers.

Impact Doval relieved Logan Webb in the sixth inning and quickly got two outs before loading the bases. Doval was able to get Jackson Chourio to fly out, ending the threat and setting the stage for the Giants to pull ahead for good on a Mike Yastrzemski two-run home run in the seventh. Doval hasn't allowed a run over 2.1 innings since he was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, but he has walked three batters in that span. A high walk rate was a big part of what led to his demotion, and it'll continue to keep him out of the biggest spots in games moving forward. For the year, Doval has a 4.47 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 60:32 K:BB across 46.1 innings. He's no threat to Ryan Walker as the Giants' closer at this time.

Called up by San Francisco The Giants recalled Doval from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Doval was optioned to Sacramento on Aug. 9 after blowing his fifth save of the season the day prior. He noted Saturday that being sent down to Triple-A "brought me back down to earth...it made me realize what I needed to do to stay up here," per Baggarly. Over his final four minor-league outings, Doval threw 4.2 scoreless innings while recording five strikeouts.

Impact What role Doval would fill has not yet been determined, as Ryan Walker has been excellent since taking over the closer role. Since being demoted to Sacramento, Doval has allowed two runs with a 5:1 K:BB over four innings of work. Just one free pass is encouraging to see, as Doval's 13.3 percent walk rate was a major reason why the Giants opted to send him down. When the former closer does rejoin the big-league bullpen, he could work in low-leverage spots initially.

Optioned to Triple-A The Giants optioned Doval to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact The decision to send Doval to the minors comes after he gave up three earned runs in one inning and was charged with his fifth blown save Thursday. The 27-year-old righty will now attempt to get back on track while in Sacramento after recording a 6.75 ERA and 1.83 WHIP through 21.1 innings since June 2. Landen Roupp was recalled in a corresponding move to bolster the Giants' bullpen, and Ryan Walker will likely take over as San Francisco's primary closer.

Blows fifth save Doval (4-1) was credited with the win Thursday, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks over one inning against the Nationals. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact Doval entered the ninth with a three-run lead but walked two batters which set up Luis Garcia's two-out, two-strike homer to left that tied the game. It was the fifth blown save of the season for Doval, who was then bailed out when the Giants scored four in the top of the 10th to provide him with his fourth win. Doval is now 4-1 with 22 saves on the season, though the three runs allowed lifted his ERA from 4.29 to 4.70 to go along with a 1.61 WHIP and 56 strikeouts over 44 innings.

Escapes with 22nd save Doval gave up a hit, a walk and a hit by pitch in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his 22nd save of the season in a 7-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact The right-hander got into trouble by loading the bases with one out, but Doval coaxed a double-play grounder out of Alex Call to end the game. The Giants' closer has been shaky of late, posting a 5.68 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB in 6.1 innings over his last seven appearances, but he's still managed to successfully convert his last five save chances.

Snags 21st save Doval picked up the save in Monday's 4-1 victory over Washington, striking out the side in a clean inning.

Impact The San Francisco closer locked down his 90th career save with authority, punching out three straight Nationals on just 13 pitches. This outing was a welcome sight for Doval, as he had allowed runs in three of his last five appearances, pitching to an 8.31 ERA with 5:3 K:BB across 4.1 innings. Overall, the 27-year-old flamethrower now sports a 4.29 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 56:26 K:BB in 42 innings this season.

Secures save No. 20 Doval allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Doval allowed two singles to begin the ninth inning. He yielded a run on a groundout but was able to stop the damage there to convert his 20th save of the campaign. Doval has converted six of his seven save chances in July despite allowing four runs over 8.1 innings this month. He's now at a 4.39 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 53:26 K:BB through 41 innings.

Grabs 19th save Doval allowed one hit in a scoreless inning while striking out one to earn a save over Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Doval entered with a three-run lead in the ninth and saw the tying run come up to the plate, but he managed to come out unscathed for the save. It was Doval's 19th save in his 23rd opportunity, a far cry from his league-leading 39 saves last season. The 27-year-old has a 4.28 ERA through 40 innings, but a high walk total has led to a 1.60 WHIP thus far.

Blows save Sunday Doval allowed two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Doval's poor performance didn't stop the Giants from winning, but it made things a bit hairy in the ninth inning. The closer had gone five scoreless innings since his last blown save June 28, though he continues to put too many batters on base. For the season, Doval has a 4.38 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 49:24 K:BB over 37 innings while going 17-for-21 in save chances. If manager Bob Melvin changes his approach to the closer job, Doval could lose some of his save share to Ryan Walker or Tyler Rogers.
