Camilo Doval slammed the door on the White Sox in the ninth inning on Friday, retiring the side in order to protect a two-run advantage.
The 27-year-old right-hander looked every bit like a dominant closer in this one, retiring Edgar Quero on a ground ball to second base before he struck out Mike Tauchman and Chase Meidroth in succession on swinging third strikes. On the season, Doval now boasts a 2.70 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 35/17 K/BB ratio over 36 2/3 innings while converting 13 of his first 16 save chances.
