CLEVELAND (AP) — The Guardians were shut out for the third straight game Monday night, and frustrations boiled over in Cleveland’s dugout during the 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
It’s the first time the Guardians have been blanked three straight times since 1991. That team lost 105 games.
“Everyone’s frustrated,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. “We need to hit. We need to score more runs. We need to get things going on offense, and we’re all aware of it. We’re all working through it, and it’s going to take all of us individually doing our best.”
Cleveland, which managed just two singles against the Rays, has been blanked for 28 consecutive innings. The Guardians last scored in the eighth inning of Friday’s 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Texas then went on to win the next two games by
