Diamondbacks seeking closer as Sewald struggles in critical game

The Arizona Diamondbacks are exploring closer options after Paul Sewald's poor performance. In a key matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 28, Sewald allowed three runs in the ninth inning, leading to a 12-inning victory for the Diamondbacks. Manager Torey Lovullo announced a shift to a committee approach for closing games following the outing. With the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaching, the Diamondbacks currently hold a tie for the second Wild Card spot in the National League at 57-52, while the Pirates trail by two games at 55-54. Potential trade targets include Kenley Jansen of the Detroit Tigers and relievers from the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies.
