Cole Sulser Struggles as Rays Drop ALCS Game 1 to Guardians

Reliever Cole Sulser surrendered a three-run rally in the ninth inning of Tampa Bay's 7-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of the ALCS. Sulser allowed two singles, a walk, a wild pitch, and a balk as Cleveland put the game out of reach. The rough outing followed a regular season in which Sulser registered a -0.3 WAR, extending Tampa Bay's bullpen struggles late in the postseason opener.
