Arizona Diamondbacks News

Ildemaro Vargas - Plates two runs in loss Vargas went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Texas.

Impact Vargas' two-run single in the ninth inning gave the Diamondbacks a 5-3 lead, but closer Paul Sewald couldn't convert the save. It was the second consecutive two-RBI game for Vargas, who has knocked in seven runs over the last 11 games despite batting just .178 (8-for-45) during that stretch. When given RISP opportunities, Vargas has delivered a .343 average and .743 slugging percentage. He leads Arizona with 28 RBI.

Nolan Arenado - Delivers two runs in loss Arenado went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact It was a frustrating night for the Diamondbacks, who were 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position when Arenado tied the game with a ninth-inning double. A two-run single by Ildemaro Vargas followed, and Arizona was in position to overcome the RISP futility, but closer Paul Sewald blew the save. Arenado has been good with runners in scoring position and is slugging .710 in those situations. His 20 RBI are tied for second on the team.

Paul Sewald - Implodes in first blown save Sewald (0-4) was charged with the loss and a blown save Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk in one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

Impact The Diamondbacks rallied for three runs in the top of the ninth frame to create a save opportunity for Sewald, but the hurler couldn't get the job done Wednesday. The 35-year-old right-hander has been prone to the occasional meltdown as Arizona's closer, giving up multiple runs in three of his 18 outings this year. Overall, Sewald has a 4.70 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings while converting nine of his 10 save chances.

Ryne Nelson - Eight Ks in quality start Nelson took a no-decision Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.

Impact The 28-year-old right-hander submitted one of his finer starts of the campaign Wednesday, flooding the zone for 64 strikes on 88 pitches and producing 18 whiffs. Nelson also fanned a season-high eight, pitched a season-most seven innings and logged his second consecutive quality start after failing to attain this feat in his prior seven outings. Nelson still has a shaky 5.40 ERA over 45 frames, but he's also set to take a more encouraging 1.16 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB into a soft matchup versus the division-rival Giants his next time out.

Adrian Del Castillo - Back in lineup at DH Del Castillo will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Before sitting out Tuesday's 7-4 loss, Del Castillo had served as Arizona's designated hitter in seven straight games and went 3-for-21 with a double, two walks and three RBI over that stretch. With Gabriel Moreno returning from the injured list May 1, Del Castillo will likely see limited playing time behind the plate moving forward, but he's expected to be used in the strong side of a platoon at DH with Jose Fernandez.

Brandon Pfaadt - Stays stretched out Pfaadt allowed two hits and struck out five over three scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Texas.

Impact Starter Zac Gallen was done early after giving up seven runs in 4.2 innings. That meant Pfaadt, a starter turned reliever, could bail out the bullpen with multiple innings. He struck out five of the 11 batters faced in what was his best effort of the season. Pfaadt entered the game with a 9.95 ERA over his first three relief appearances. The Diamondbacks will make every effort to keep him stretched out in case a fill-in or piggy-back starter is required.

Ildemaro Vargas - Homers in loss Vargas went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

Zac Gallen - Surrenders seven runs in loss Gallen (1-4) took the loss against Texas on Tuesday, tossing 4.2 innings during which he allowed seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters.

Impact Gallen struggled from the outset, serving up a solo homer to Joc Pederson in the first inning. He trailed 3-0 entering the fifth, then got just two outs in that frame while being charged with four more runs. Gallen managed just six whiffs among his 95 pitches and has now given up a combined 17 runs over his past three starts spanning 14.1 innings. That has pushed his season ERA up to an ugly 5.65.
