Camilo Doval Shuts Down Nationals for Sharp Save
by Matthew Adam | Giants Correspondent | Tue, Aug 6th 6:45am EDT
Camilo Doval delivered a flawless performance, striking out three in a clean inning to secure the save in the Giants' 4-1 victory over the Nationals on Monday.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat erratic season for Doval, characterized by a higher-than-desirable ERA of 4.29 and a WHIP of 1.57. However, his impressive strikeout rate of 12.0 K/9 continues to make him a valuable asset in categories that reward strikeouts. The save tonight adds to his tally, bringing him to 21 saves for the season, though his four blown saves might still be a concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, while Doval's ability to miss bats is undeniable, his overall effectiveness as a closer will hinge on his ability to limit base runners and maintain control, as indicated by his elevated BABIP and modest strikeout-to-walk ratio.
