Impact Walker pitched a scoreless eighth inning during Wednesday's 4-3 defeat and has converted his past three save chances, but he'll now be dropped from the closer committee after opening the campaign with a solo grip on the job. The right-hander has gone 10-for-12 in save opportunities, but his 4.95 ERA and 1.30 WHIP are a far cry from the 1.91 ERA he posted in 2024. Doval, who has recorded 97 saves since debuting for San Francisco in 2021, has rebounded from a down year with a 1.16 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 23.1 innings this season.

Hangs on for 10th save Walker earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nationals, allowing a run on two hits while logging a strikeout in the ninth inning.

Impact It didn't come easily for Walker on Sunday -- he'd allow a leadoff double to CJ Abrams, who'd come around to score on a James Wood two-bagger with one out. However, Walker bounced back to strike out Nathaniel Lowe before Alex Call flew out to end the game, stranding the tying run on second. The 29-year-old Walker hadn't allowed a hit in four consecutive appearances prior to Sunday. He's now 10-for-12 in save chances this year with a 5.21 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 19 innings.

Secures ninth save Walker pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Walker has recorded the Giants' last two saves, so it looks like he's currently doing a decent job of fending off Camilo Doval's challenge for the closer role. Walker has also pitched four consecutive scoreless and hitless innings, though he has a 1:2 K:BB in that span. The right-hander is at a 5.00 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB with nine saves in 11 chances over 18 innings this season.

Earns save Sunday Walker struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact This was Walker's third consecutive scoreless inning since his blown save versus the Twins on May 11. The right-hander got through his outing Sunday on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to earn his eighth save in 10 chances this season. Walker also has a hold, but he's been less dominant in 2025 than he was in 2024, posting a 5.29 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB over his first 17 innings this year. Walker's unsteady pitching has almost all been since April 20, which has opened the door for Camilo Doval to rejoin the closer conversation for the Giants, which has the ninth inning looking like a two-man committee for now.

Impact Walker entered the bottom of the 10th inning with a 6-5 lead and hit another speed bump. He gave up an RBI groundout to Ryan Jeffers and a walk-off single to DaShawn Keirsey. Walker has blown two of his nine save chances this season and has been tagged with nine earned runs over his last six innings. His ERA has ballooned up to 6.43 across 14 frames this season. Camilo Doval has gone 13.1 innings -- including one Sunday -- since yielding his last earned run.

Rebounds for seventh save Walker earned the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Walker failed to convert a save in Tuesday's contest, allowing the Cubs to tie the game with two runs on a hit and two walks in the ninth inning. However, Walker was called upon to close out a two-run lead again Wednesday. He'd give up a leadoff hit to Carson Kelly before inducing a double-play ball off the bat of Justin Turner en route to his seventh save of the year. Walker's had a few tough outings early in the season, though he remains the preferred ninth-inning option for San Francisco. Overall, his ERA sits at 6.08 with a 1.35 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 13.1 innings.

Grabs sixth save Walker earned the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rockies, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact With Camilo Doval being deployed in the seventh inning, Walker was brought in for the ninth inning to preserve the Giants' three-run lead. Walker forced the first two batters to ground out and came away with the save after retiring Adael Amador on a seven-pitch strikeout. It was Walker's first save since April 19 as he and Camilo Doval have split duties to start the season, though the former appears to be the favorite to come in for save chances.

Still in line for saves Manager Bob Melvin said Walker would get the save chance for the Giants on Friday, if the situation arose, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Camilo Doval has earned each of the Giants' last three saves, all of which have come since Monday. After Thursday's game, Melvin said that the Giants wanted to give Walker the day off -- he pitched Wednesday and allowed two earned runs while recording just one out -- and gave him a tepid vote of confidence. After allowing only one earned run across his first eight innings, Walked has surrendered six earned runs across only 0.2 innings in his last two outings combined.

Surrenders four runs in ninth Walker (0-1) took the loss Sunday versus the Angels, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out a batter as his only out recorded.

Impact Walker entered protecting a three-run lead and proceeded to blow his first save of the season. A walk and two singles loaded up the bases for the Angels with one out. Walker plunked Zach Neto to make it a 4-2 game and Jo Adell followed with a double in the left field gap to clear the bases for the walk-off win. It was an uncharacteristically bad outing from Walker, who had not given up a run since his season debut nor allowed more than one hit in any of his appearances before Sunday.
