Dbacks recap and notes

Sewald earned the save in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Giants, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Sewald’s now converted his last five save chances, allowing just one run on one hit in that span (six innings). Overall, the veteran closer has logged 14 saves while posting a 3.80 ERA with a 0.75 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings this year.

Soroka (7-2) earned the win Wednesday over the Giants, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out three.

It was another strong outing from Soroka, who’s held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last five outings, posting a 1.78 ERA with 24 strikeouts and just five walks in that span (30.1 innings). Overall, Soroka’s ERA is down to 3.25 on the year with a 1.20 WHIP and 60:14 K:BB across 11 starts (61 innings). He’ll look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled as a tough home matchup next week with the Dodgers.

Arenado (groin) is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s contest versus the Giants.

Arenado had to be lifted from Tuesday’s contest with right groin tightness. With a team off day looming Thursday, he’ll receive at least two days of rest. Jose Fernandez is covering third base for the Diamondbacks on Wednesday and is in line for a playing-time boost for as long as Arenado is absent from the lineup.
