Arizona, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Toronto pens

This week's column takes a look at the bullpens for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Toronto Blue Jays. It also takes a little more of a look at the interplay between actual ERA and xERA.

We start with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have gone from Paul Sewald (RHP, ARI) as closer to more of a temporary committee, at least until Sewald gets back on track after a month of scuffling through.  Here are the numbers so far:
