Summary
The San Francisco Giants, surprising contenders in Major League Baseball’s 2025 season, entered a crucial game against the Los Angeles Dodgers tied for first in the National League West. A key factor in their success has been the resurgence of closer Camilo Doval, who struggled in 2024 but refocused during spring training to reclaim his role. Since returning as closer in late May, Doval has excelled with a 1.69 ERA and 1.094 WHIP over 32 innings, reminiscent of his All-Star campaign in 2023.
