With the Giants seeking a comeback win for a series victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, Camilo Doval had thrown five consecutive balls in the top of the ninth inning. Doval, whose struggles last season were well-documented, was attempting to secure his third save in as many appearances. With a potential setback looming, shortstop Willy Adames jogged to the mound, joined by third baseman Matt Chapman and catcher Patrick Bailey, to offer Doval some words of encouragement. The result was a 6-5 win, bumping San Francisco to a 17-9 record and series win over Adames' former team. Source: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco...

The intricacies of the game will have to be mastered on the back fields at Scottsdale Stadium during workouts, and thus far, the Giants are thrilled with how Doval has attacked that process. Coming off a disappointing season that cost him his job as San Francisco's closer, Doval has been locked in from the first day of camp. Source: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco...
