Doval picked up the save in Thursday's 1-0 win over Arizona. He allowed two hits while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
Doval worked around a pair of singles, inducing a Joc Pederson flyout to end the threat and earn his major-league leading 33rd save. After blowing a save against Boston on July 29, the 26-year-old flamethrower has turned in four consecutive scoreless appearances, allowing three hits while striking out five and issuing zero walks across four innings during that stretch.

Giants' Camilo Doval: Adds to MLB-leading saves total
Rotowire
Doval picked up the save in Friday's 6-4 win over the Pirates. He allowed one hit without a walk or a strikeout over a scoreless inning.
Make it 27 saves in 29 chances for Doval -- more saves than anyone else in baseball.

The rest of the Giants' bullpen has eight saves combined this season.

Rotowire
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.

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

Giants' Camilo Doval: Lit up in non-save situation
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Camilo Doval: Converts 22nd save
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Camilo Doval: Takes blown save
Rotowire
Doval allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning, taking a blown save in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Dodgers.
Doval allowed four straight batters to reach base, but he was able to limit the damage to one run. The slip-up ended his run of 15 straight save conversions, but he's still 18-for-20 in save chances this season as one of the most effective closers in baseball. Doval has a 2.03 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 44:14 K:BB through 31 innings this season, and it would likely take an extended run of poor pitching for his ninth-inning role to be challenged.

Doval has now converted 18 of 19 save chances to date to go with sterling ratios (1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 24.4 K-BB%), making him one of the more valuable fantasy closers so far this season.
