San Francisco, CA

SAN FRANCISCO -- Camilo Doval's first few minutes back in Triple-A couldn't have gone much better. Doval, optioned by the Giants last week, was a pitch away from an immaculate inning on Sunday night in Albuquerque, but an 0-2 cutter to Colorado Rockies minor leaguer Greg Jones was just above the zone. Three ensuing sliders missed, and from there, the wheels came off a bit. The next batter hit a slider into the gap for an RBI triple and a single put a second run on Doval's line.
