It was disappointment for the Diamondbacks, who ended a tiebreaker short of the playoffs.
It was disappointment for Paul Sewald, who performed poorly in the second half.
“After 1 July, [Paul Sewald’s] performance fell. Nine times he entered a game with the Diamondbacks ahead, no baserunners, and with leverage greater than 1. Three times he allowed zero runs and earned three saves. In the other six games he allowed a total of 10 runs, while leaving 2 runners on base.” — Makakilo
