Paul Sewald of the Arizona Diamondbacks blew a save in Game 1 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers, allowing a game-tying two-run homer to Corey Seager in the ninth inning. Sewald had been successful in previous save opportunities but struggled against the relentless Rangers lineup. The Diamondbacks had pitched carefully to Seager earlier in the game, but Sewald challenged him with a high fastball and paid the price. Despite the loss, the Diamondbacks remain optimistic and believe they played a solid game overall.
Seattle Mariners General Manager Justin Hollander discusses the team's trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, which involved sending closer Paul Sewald in exchange for outfielder Dominic Canzone, infielder Josh Rojas, and infield prospect Ryan Bliss. Hollander believes the trade will improve the team's offense and sees Canzone as a strong hitter with potential, despite his limited MLB experience. Rojas, although having a down year, is considered a quality all-around player who will contribute to the team. Hollander acknowledges that Sewald's departure will be difficult to replace, but expects a collective effort from other pitchers to fill the void.
