Camilo Doval Secures Series Sweep For San Francisco
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval earned his second save of the season on Wednesday in Houston. He closed out the Giants' 6-3 win with a perfect ninth inning that required only 10 pitches. The 27-year-old righty has yet to allow a baserunner in his three appearances this season and has two saves, matching Ryan Walker for the team lead. Walker is typically the primary closer but has been unavailable the last two games due to back pain, and Doval has stepped in effectively. When Walker is available, he is expected to resume his role at the back end of the bullpen, but Doval has been very effective and is a strong backup option for the Giants. It looks like he would be the next man up if Walker ends up needing a trip to the injured list. The Giants are off on Thursday before opening a six-game homestand against the Mariners and Reds.
