Paul Sewald Clinches Save in Tight Victory
by Jesse Garcia | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Thu, Jul 11th 8:49am EDT
Paul Sewald secured his 12th save of the season in a clean inning as the Diamondbacks edged out the Braves 7-5.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw eight pitches, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, though he didn't record any strikeouts. This performance was a much needed bounce back for the closer for Arizona. His strikeout numbers might not dazzle, but his ability to suppress hits (evidenced by a .170 BABIP) and manage tight situations without yielding runs is a boon for fantasy managers needing stable save sources. Despite a somewhat high FIP, Sewald's consistency in save situations should keep him rostered in most fantasy formats.
