Diamondbacks’ Paul Sewald, Miguel Castro Roasted by MLB Fans After WS Loss to Rangers

It was Paul Sewald’s time to pitch.

But it ended up being a rough time for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

So many times a clutch performer for the Diamondbacks over the second half of the season, Sewald blew the save in the team’s 6-5 loss to the Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series at Globe Life Field.

Up 5-3 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Sewald gave up a massive two-run homer to Corey Seager that tied the game back up, sending Rangers’ fans into delirium the second the ball came off the bat.

Sewald was huge in several tight games against the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS, but he came up short in the biggest spot of his career thus far.

The blown save set up another huge Adolis García moment in the bottom of the 11th inning, hitting a walk off solo homer against reliever Miguel Castro to seal the Rangers’ first win in the World Series since 2011.

As for the Diamondback’s, they’ll have to wait a little longer for their own first win since 2001—when they last won the title.

And fans were ripping Sewald and Castro following the loss.

Corey Seager just hit a mammoth, game-tying home run off Paul Sewald with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning.

It is 5-5. Evan Carter is up. Adolis Garcia is on deck. And Game 1 is back to even.

Paul Sewald finally blew a save, but of course it came against basically the best hitter in the world right now.

Doesn’t change at all the impressiveness of how far he’s come or how good he’s become. pic.twitter.com/I4kmBdJ8K7

One thing to keep in mind. While Paul Sewald was a novelty to NL hitters, the Texas Rangers are VERY familiar with their former division rival’s closer.

Corey Seager talked about having the discipline against Cristian Javier to swing higher than his eyes told him vs high heaters.

Looks like he did the same vs Paul Sewald. Incredible.

I could have told you Miguel Castro was giving up that home run back in 2018.

The Diamondbacks will attempt to bounce back Saturday night in Game 2 and steal home-field advantage away from Texas before the series shifts back to Arizona for games 3-5.

Going behind 2-0 to an uber-confident Rangers’ team is a recipe for disaster.
