Asked to pitch in a high-leverage situation for the first time in a while, Camilo Doval disappointed on Saturday.<\/p>\n

With the Yankees<\/a> up, 2-1, with one out in the eighth inning, the flame-thrower relieved Brent Headrick, who surrendered a solo homer to Jake Bauers the previous inning. Doval quickly recorded an out, getting Jackson Chourio to pop up to Austin Wells.<\/p>\n

But Doval gave up a single to Brice Turang after that. Never particularly good at controlling the running game, Doval then let Turang steal second before permitting a game-tying single to William Contreras.<\/p>\n

The sequence proved costly in what became a 4-3, 10-inning, series-losing defeat for the Yankees in Milwaukee. While Ryan McMahon put the Yankees back in front with a single in the top of the 10th, the Brewers tied the game again in the bottom of the inning when Chourio picked up an infield single against Fernando Cruz.<\/p>\n

With runners on first and second and one away, new reliever Tim Hill then made the unwise decision to throw to third after fielding a comebacker. His throw hit Luis Rengifo. With no outs recorded and the bases juiced, Contreras then ended the game with a sac fly.<\/p>\n

While Doval wasn\u2019t the only Yankees reliever to allow a run after Cam Schlittler threw six scoreless innings on Saturday, the fact that he has been untrustworthy in high-leverage situations is a problem for the Bombers.<\/p>\n

The club was counting on the former Giants closer and 2023 All-Star to be its setup man for David Bednar, but Doval owns a 6.14 ERA and has shown that he has no business being in tight ballgames after a little more than a month of play.<\/p>\n

While Doval, acquired from San Francisco at the trade deadline last summer<\/a>, opened the season with three scoreless outings, he has allowed at least one earned run in seven of his 14 appearances since then.<\/p>\n

Doval, erratic throughout his career, has managed to cut back on his free passes; he didn\u2019t allow any on Saturday and entered the game with a 5.0 BB%. That would be a career-low over a full season, and yet Doval has remained a liability after making a less-than-stellar first impression last season.<\/p>\n

With Doval and company off their games, the Yankees\u2019 bullpen also spoiled a strong offensive night from Paul Goldschmidt. The veteran first baseman opened the game with a home run, his third of the season. At 38 years, 241 days, Goldschmidt became the oldest player in Yankees history with a leadoff longball.<\/p>\n

Goldschmidt wasn\u2019t done there, adding an RBI single off the glove of Rengifo in the fourth frame.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Yankees, Goldschmidt\u2019s efforts weren\u2019t enough with the bullpen scuffling and their lineup going 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Asked to pitch in a high-leverage situation for the first time in a while, Camilo Doval disappointed on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151,59224,99616,7677,101953],"class_list":["post-286509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-brewers","tag-camilo-doval","tag-mlb","tag-yankees"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
