Arizona Diamondbacks Regroup After Loss

The Arizona Diamondbacks are looking to regroup after a 4-2 loss at the Tampa Bay Rays on June 27, which put their record at 41-41 and 10th place in the National League.

What happened to the bullpen?

The Diamondbacks bullpen had a rough start to the season, yielding a 5.03 ERA across March and April, but turned it around in May with a 2.18 ERA as a group.

The unit's performance has swelled again in June, with the bullpen's ERA sitting at 5.02 for the month.

Why is consistency key for Arizona Diamondbacks?

Consistency is key for the Arizona Diamondbacks, as they need to put in 100% effort every day to help the team win, according to hard-throwing right-hander Juan Morillo.

Morillo has seen great improvement in his second pro season, reducing his WHIP from 1.69 to 1.10.

Who are the reliable pitchers?

Another reliable pitcher is the team's closer, Paul Sewald, who has converted 18 saves in 19 opportunities despite a fastball that averages just 91.4 mph.

Sewald ranks in the 100th percentile with a .156 xBA, using just a fastball and a sweeper.

The team has also found a good left-hander in Brandyn Garcia, who has allowed just five earned runs across 17.2 innings this season with a 0.85 WHIP.

Garcia doesn't feel any added pressure as the primary left-hander in the bullpen.

What comes next for Arizona Diamondbacks?

The Arizona Diamondbacks are approaching the midway point of the season, and they know now is the time to turn their performance around.

With a strong bullpen, the team can improve their chances of winning and moving up the National League standings.

The Diamondbacks are on a L2 streak and will look to break it in their next game.
