I got distracted & fortunately didn't see the Giants lose to the #Rangers last night 2-0, despite a decent 6 inning start by Verlander who only gave up 2 runs on 5 hits with 5Ks & only 1 BB.

Reminds me of Webb's 2-0 loss with 12Ks vs the #Angels when the Giants also couldn't score any runs.🤷‍♂️

It was unfortunate but no harm done because the #Padres & #Dodgers also lost yesterday.

So, the standings remain the same with the Padres in 1st, the Giants in 2nd & the Dodgers 3rd just separated by a single game.

Hopefully the Giants can do better today as long as the game isn't called for rain.

Go Giants!!! 🎉🎉🎉

So, does anyone have any idea what's "wrong" with #RyanWalker???

Two bad outings in a row . . . the blown save versus the #Angels giving up 4 runs to allow them a walk off win 4-5 the other day and another bad outing giving up 2 runs and leaving 2 on with only 1 out vs the #Brewers last night that Doval had to come in to clean up & to get the save 2-4.

Whatever Walker's problem is, if he doesn't fix it quick, I don't think Melvin will have any choice but to start using #Doval as the closer again now that he seems to be back in his 2023 form.

This would not be a "controversial" decision IMO.

Of course, Doval could easily go on a walk-about again too but it only makes sense to use the pitcher who is pitching best &, at the moment, that's Doval.

Around the Foghorn · SF Giants officially have a closer controversy after narrow win over BrewersBy Nick San Miguel

Melvin put Walker in to close the game in the top of the 9th in a non-save situation with the Giants up 0-4 following his blown save meltdown vs the #Angels the other day but Walker got into trouble again. 🤦

Walker got a K but gave up 2 singles, hit a batter again & then gave up a ground rule double with the bases to score 2 for the #Brewers.🫣

But this time, Melvin didn't wait around ,& took Walker out & put Doval in with only 1 out & runners on 2nd & 3rd.

Doval K'd the 1st batter & got the 2nd batter 2 ground out to 2nd to end the game & to give Webb (3-1) & the Giants the win 2-4. 👋👋👋

This win ties the Giants with the #Dodgers (who lost again to the #Cubs today,) at 16-9;in 2nd place 1 game behind the #Padres (who lost to the #Tigers today) in 1st place at 17-8 in the NL West.

Go Giants!!!🎉🎉🎉
