Guardians’ embarrassing bullpen spoils Noah Syndergaard’s solid debut

Have you ever been at a party where everyone is having a good time but then a certain someone walks in the door and suddenly the vibe takes a turn for the worse?

Why am I asking? No reason.

Anyway, the Cleveland Guardians led the Houston Astros, 2-0, in the sixth inning Monday night — backed by a surprisingly effective Cleveland debut for recent acquisition Noah Syndergaard — when Eli Morgan entered the game. As you might have guessed, the vibe took a turn.

Inheriting a runner on third with one out, Morgan wasted no time in allowing that baserunner to score, firing a 91 mph four-seam fastball down the middle of the plate on his first pitch to Kyle Tucker for an RBI single.
