Sewald pitched a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout to earn the save in the win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
Sewald entered the ninth inning with a two-run lead and secured his fifth save in his first appearance since being reinstated from the paternity list. The 31-year-old is a part of Seattle's closer-by-committee approach. He was afforded the ninth-inning opportunity while Diego Castillo, who is 1-for-3 in save chances since joining Seattle at the deadline, was called on in the eighth. For the season, Sewald now has a 2.77 ERA in 39 innings and is 5-for-7 in save opportunities.
