  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Works eighth inning

    Sewald issued one walk and recorded two strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Pirates. He was charged with a blown save.

    Sewald entered the eighth inning of Sunday's contest and allowed an inherited run to score on a wild pitch. It was his first blown save of the season after converting his first 11 opportunities. He's struck out seven batters in 3.2 scoreless innings over his last four appearances, lowering his season ERA to 3.09 with a 32:6 K:BB through 23.1 frames.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Clean inning for 11th save

    Sewald struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

    Sewald has saves in each of his last two outings after a nearly three-week gap between opportunities. He's kept runs off the board in four of his last five outings, lowering his ERA to 3.18 with a 0.88 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB over 22.2 innings overall. He's 11-for-11 in save chances as the Mariners' top closer with Andres Munoz (shoulder) out for a majority of the campaign so far.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Collects 10th save

    Sewald struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

    Sewald hadn't seen a save chance since May 4, and he came into this outing with three runs allowed over his last 3.2 innings. That lack of closing opportunities has led to a light workload for the closer this month. He's converted 10 saves this season while pitching to a 3.32 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB over 21.2 innings.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Save-chance drought continues

    Sewald fired one inning of scoreless relief in a win over Atlanta on Saturday, allowing a hit and a strikeout.

    The quick 10-pitch outing was Sewald's fourth consecutive appearance in a non-save opportunity, with his last high-leverage spot coming May 4 against the Athletics. Manager Scott Servais hasn't purposely kept Sewald out of a ninth-inning role over that span; rather, there has been a number of relatively lopsided victories alongside seven losses for the Mariners since that point. Sewald has been a tick more hittable than a year ago, but he's converted all nine save chances and boasts an 11.3 K/9 and 5.2 K/BB ratio.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Clean inning for save

    Sewald struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

    Sewald needed just 10 pitches (seven strikes) to lock down his ninth save of the season. His scoreless streak is up to four frames, and he has a 2.65 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB through 17 innings this season. Sewald will likely remain unchallenged for closing duties until Andres Munoz (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Locks down eighth save

    Sewald earned the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics, striking out two in a perfect inning.

    Sewald got through the clean inning on 17 pitches (11 strikes). He's now posted three consecutive scoreless appearances after giving up a run in back-to-back outings. The 32-year-old has been solid this year with a 2.81 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB through 16 innings. He's also converted eight saves and picked up two wins in 16 outings.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Gets second win Sunday

    Sewald (2-0) recorded the win in an extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays on Sunday, firing a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk.

    Tasked with preserving an 8-8 tie when he entered in the ninth, Sewald successfully got the Mariners to extra innings despite having to work around some trouble. The right-hander was pitching on consecutive days for the first time since April 7-8, and he's essentially picked up where he left off during his successful 2022 -- Sewald has seven saves in addition to his two wins, and Sunday's scoreless effort lowered his ERA to an even 3.00 after he'd recently allowed an earned run apiece in back-to-back outings on April 22 and Tuesday.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Grabs seventh save

    Sewald picked up the save Tuesday against Philadelphia, allowing a run on two hits while striking out two over one inning.

    Sewald, pitching with a three-run lead, surrendered a leadoff double to Alec Bohm, who'd come around to score on a Jake Cave single. However, Sewald would strike out Bryson Stott to end the game and pick up the save. The 32-year-old Sewald has allowed a run in each of his last two outings, though he's still a perfect 7-for-7 in save opportunities this season. He now has a 3.46 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB through 13 innings to start the year.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Picks up another save

    Sewald earned a save against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters.

    Sewald entered in the top of the ninth inning with Seattle up by two runs. He gave up a one-out homer to Tommy Edman but retired the other three batters he faced, including two by strikeout. The save was Sewald's second in as many days, and he's a perfect 6-for-6 in save chances on the campaign. Among MLB hurlers, only David Bednar, Jordan Romano and Josh Hader have more saves than Sewald at this point in the campaign.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Records fifth save of season

    Sewald picked up the save in Friday's 5-2 victory over the Cardinals. He tossed a perfect inning without any strikeouts.

    Sewald has yet to blow a save this year, and he's currently on pace to pass his career high of 20 saves that he set last season. The right-hander's current tally of five saves is tied for fifth-most in the league, and he also sports an elite 0.73 WHIP.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Slams door for save

    Sewald struck out the side in a perfect inning to pick up a save over Colorado on Sunday.

    Sewald came in to protect a 1-0 lead in the ninth frame and struck out the top of the Rockies' lineup in order. He's now converted all four of his save chances, including two during this weekend's series against Colorado. Sewald has a 3.00 ERA with an 11:3 K:BB through nine innings.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Makes quick work of Rockies in save

    Sewald picked up the save Friday against the Rockies, striking out two in a perfect inning.

    Sewald is now 3-for-3 in save opportunities this year, with eight strikeouts in as many innings pitched. The righty continues to prove himself as one of the better closers in the league, as he's had 31 saves over the previous two seasons. He should continue to get save chances while Andres Munoz (shoulder) is on the injured list.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Notches second save

    Sewald gave up a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his second save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Guardians.

    The right-hander's velocity remains down a bit from last season -- his fastball topped out at 92.2 mph, after averaging 92.6 mph in 2022 -- but Sewald was able to get the job done as he relied heavily on his sweeper. He has a win and two saves through his first five appearances, but the 32-year-old's 4:3 K:BB in five innings reflects the fact that he may not be fully in form yet.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Bounces back with first save

    Sewald picked up the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Guardians, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning.

    After giving up two runs to the Angels in his last outing, Sewald bounced back with his second perfect inning of the campaign and notched his first save of the season. Through four innings, the right-hander has struck out three and walked two, but he figures to continue sharing closing duties with Andres Munoz, who pitched the eighth inning Friday.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Nabs win in opener

    Sewald (1-0) recorded the win in the Mariners' victory over the Guardians on Thursday, firing a perfect eighth inning during which he recorded a strikeout.

    The hard-throwing right-hander was utilized in a setup role to start the season and came out of the gates exceedingly sharp, pounding in 10 of his 12 pitches for strikes. Sewald was rewarded for preserving a scoreless tie when Ty France slugged a three-run home run in the home half of the frame. Andres Munoz logged the ninth-inning opportunity Thursday, but Sewald -- who recorded a career-high 20 saves in 2022 -- figures to get his fair share of closing chances over the course of the campaign.

  • Mariners' Paul Sewald: Strong in two spring appearances

    Sewald has fired two scoreless innings during which he's allowed one hit and recorded two strikeouts across two Cactus League appearances.

    Sewald hasn't failed to throw a strike yet, finding the zone on all 11 of his pitches over his pair of appearances. The hard-throwing right-hander, who underwent heel and elbow procedures this offseason, is slated to see a fair amount of ninth-inning work this year after recording a career-high 20 saves in 25 chances in 2022, but Andres Munoz (foot) and Diego Castillo should also log an allotment of high-leverage opportunities.
