Secures 15th save Sewald picked up the save Monday against the Dodgers. He allowed no hits or walks with no strikeouts across a perfect inning.

Impact Sewald made quick work of the Dodgers in the ninth inning, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches (nine strikes) to secure the victory. The right-hander's 3.63 ERA across 22.1 innings doesn't stand out at first glance, but 20 of his 25 appearances have been scoreless and he has converted 15 of 16 save opportunities. Sewald's 15 saves rank second among National League relievers, trailing only Mason Miller's 17.

Clean inning for save Sewald struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Impact This was Sewald's first save since April 17 versus the Blue Jays. Over his last six appearances, he's given up three runs across 5.1 innings with a 6:4 K:BB. The lack of saves has come down to the Diamondbacks producing too few opportunities -- this was just their second win in eight games in May. Sewald is at a 3.29 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB through 13.2 innings this season. He's converted all eight of his save chances this year despite some hiccups in non-save situations.
