After converting 33 of his first 36 save opportunities this season, the 26-year-old closer has now blown three consecutive save chances. Despite the rough patch, Doval still owns a solid 2.60 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP with 12.2 K/9 across 55.1 innings this year.

The Giants then pulled ahead in the ninth inning and Doval was able to protect the one-run lead. He's earned more wins (three) than saves (two) over his last eight appearances, with each of those wins coming after he was charged with a blown save. Doval has converted 33 of 38 save chances while pitching to a 2.29 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 75:21 K:BB through 55 innings this season as one of the top closers in the league.

Earns win after blown save Doval (4-3) got the win over the Rangers in extra innings Sunday, but he allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk and struck out one in 1.1 innings.

Impact Giants' starter Logan Webb was one out away from a complete-game shutout Sunday, but manager Gabe Kapler would not take his chances and called upon Doval to close things out after Webb allowed a two-out double. Doval got what he thought was a game-ending ground ball, but Ezequiel Duran beat the throw from Brandon Crawford and the run scored to force extra innings. Doval worked through some trouble in extras as well and allowed the Rangers to take the lead after he balked home a run following a leadoff single. The 25-year-old was bailed out in the bottom half of the frame after the Giants walked it off and awarded him his second win since the All-Star break. Doval now has two saves and a win in four appearances this month and sits at a 2.36 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 33 saves in 53 games on the year.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Converts 32nd save Doval pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Doval was efficient, throwing eight pitches (six strikes) in the outing. He's tossed three scoreless innings over the last four days, which puts some question into his availability for a potential save situation in Thursday's day game, though the Giants' off day Friday could make that a moot point. Doval is 32-for-35 in save chances with a 2.52 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 67:19 K:BB through 50 innings as one of the top closers in the majors.

Nails down 26th save Doval struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 26th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Rockies.

Impact The right-hander needed only 10 pitches (eight strikes) to wrap things up, striking out pinch-hitters Nolan Jones and Harold Castro en route to his eighth straight successful save conversion. The save allowed Doval to keep pace with Alexis Diaz for the major-league lead, and the Giants' closer is already one short of tying the 27 he recorded in 2022 in his first full season in the majors.

Bounces back for 25th save Doval struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

Impact Doval gave up four runs over one inning in a non-save situation his last time out, so it was positive to see him back in form Wednesday. He's 25-for-27 in save chances this season, and his steady pitching earned him a spot on the National League's All-Star roster. He's pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB over 40 innings, though six of the 12 runs he's allowed this year have come over his last 10 appearances.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lit up in non-save situation Doval (2-3) allowed four runs on three hits and struck out one without walking a batter in one inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Mariners.

Impact It wasn't a save situation, but Doval allowed the Mariners to rally for a lead in the ninth inning after entering a 2-2 game. This was the first time he's allowed multiple runs since April 14 against the Tigers, when he gave up three unearned runs over 1.2 innings. The bad outing spiked his ERA to 2.77 with a 1.10 WHIP and 54:17 K:BB through 39 innings this season. Given his strong performance and track record of success with 24 saves in 26 tries, this one poor showing is unlikely to cost him closing duties.

Notches 24th save Doval issued one walk in a scoreless inning Friday, striking out one and earning a save over the Mets.

Impact Doval needed just 11 pitches to finish off the 5-4 win. He's now converted six straight save chances after a rare misstep June 16 against the Dodgers. Doval lowered his ERA to a stellar 1.89 ERA with a 53:17 K:BB through 38 frames.

Cruises to four-out save Doval struck out three without allowing a baserunner over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jays.

He's given up two runs over 12.1 innings while converting nine saves in June. For the season, Doval owns an excellent 1.95 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and 52:16 K:BB through 37 innings. He's now 23-for-25 in save chances.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Converts 22nd save Doval allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Doval was pitching for the third time in four days, which may explain some of the sloppiness. He was able to work through the danger to earn his 22nd save of the season. Doval hasn't gone on any exceptional scoreless streaks so far, often giving up a run once in every handful of appearances. He's still been a steady reliever with a 2.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 49:16 K:BB over 35.2 innings and just two blown saves on the year. Should a save chance surface Sunday, Taylor Rogers seems like the most likely candidate to close it out, as he threw just seven pitches over one inning to earn the win Saturday in his first appearance since Wednesday.
