The Arizona Diamondbacks have won a baseball game against the Cleveland Guardians, sending their GM Mike Hazen a warning ahead of the August 3 Trade Deadline. The team's 12-8 victory over the Cleveland team was particularly concerning as their bullpen struggled, allowing six earned runs and turning a 10-2 game into a game within grand slam range. Five of these runs were charged to former closer Paul Sewald, who allowed a solo homer on his first pitch and could not record one out. The win helped Arizona secure their status as a moderate buyer as they head to the deadline six games over.500, potentially seven with a sweep, and still in possession of a playoff berth. The Diamondbacks are showing their ability to contend, but they need relief help, above all else.
