Notches sixth save Sulser struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his sixth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The 31-year-old remains the top closing option in the O's bullpen by default, but Tuesday's save was Sulser's only one in August. On the season, he sports a 3.12 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 63:21 K:BB through 49 innings.

Takes third loss Sulser (3-3) took the loss Saturday versus Tampa Bay. He allowed two runs on two hits and a walk with one strikeout in one inning.

Impact Sulser surrendered a two-run home run to Randy Arozarena in the eighth inning, turning a one-run lead into a one-run deficit. It'll count as Sulser's second blown save of the year. He's given up five runs in 8.2 innings across nine outings in August. The right-hander has a solid 3.19 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 62:21 K:BB through 48 innings overall, but he's been trending slightly in the wrong direction lately. He's added five saves and three holds in 47 outings.

Logs scoreless inning Sulser struck out one and walked one in a scoreless inning during Thursday's 7-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact While Sulser has seen high-leverage work as recently as late July, Baltimore's 15-game losing streak has left him little opportunity to pitch with the team ahead. The 31-year-old has given up two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings through six August appearances. He owns a reasonable 2.80 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 56:20 K:BB across 45 innings while adding five saves and three holds this year.

Takes loss Wednesday Sulser (3-2) allowed a run on one hit and a walk with one strikeout in one inning, taking the loss versus the Yankees on Wednesday.

Impact The right-hander worked efficiently in the sixth inning, but he walked the first batter he faced in the seventh. Paul Fry came on in relief and allowed the inherited runner to score the go-ahead run, which resulted in Sulser getting charged with the loss. The 31-year-old has seen more high-leverage work lately, but he made a rather early appearance in a tied game, and his scoreless streak ended at 6.2 innings over eight appearances. He has a 2.90 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 55:19 K:BB through 40.1 innings overall.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs fifth save Sulser struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

Impact The right-hander has produced a 6.2-inning scoreless streak in eight appearances since the All-Star break. Sulser has also matched the career-high five saves he posted last season. He appears to be the favorite for closing duties in Baltimore currently, and he sports a 2.75 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 54:18 K:BB through 39.1 innings on the year.

Secures fourth save Sulser struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Paul Fry closed out the seventh inning while Dillon Tate had to bail out Tanner Scott in the eighth, leaving closing duties to Sulser. The 31-year-old has reeled off seven straight scoreless appearances, picking up one win, one save and one hold over that stretch, and on the season he sports a 2.82 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 52:18 K:BB through 38.1 innings.

Picks up win Sulser (3-2) tossed a perfect third of an inning to earn the win over the Nationals on Sunday.

Impact Sulser entered Sunday's game with runners on first and second in the top of the ninth inning. The right-hander was able to record the final out of the inning to keep the deficit at one run, and he earned his third win of the year when the Orioles came back in the bottom half of the frame. Sulser hasn't allowed a run in 3.2 innings across his last five appearances, and he should continue to see high-leverage opportunities.

JULY 20, 2021 • Associated Press

Takes blown save Sulser allowed a run on one hit in two-thirds of an inning, taking a blown save versus the White Sox on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander's strong June put him in the closer conversation in Baltimore, but he's now allowed five runs in just two innings across three July appearances. Sulser entered Sunday's game in the sixth inning and gave up a three-run home run to Andrew Vaughn, with two of those runs charged to Paul Fry. Through 32.2 innings overall, Sulser has a 3.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB. He'll likely continue to see time in high-leverage roles, as Baltimore has few dependable arms in its bullpen.

Suffers first loss of 2021 Sulser (2-1) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out a batter over a third of an inning as he took the loss Sunday against the Angels.

Impact Sulser was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and completely imploded. He walked the leadoff batter and proceeded to give up back-to-back singles before Juan Lagares ended the game with a two-run double. Sulser had previously put up five consecutive scoreless outings before Sunday's meltdown and now owns a 2.61 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 44:13 K:BB over 31 innings.

Locks down save No. 3 Sulser threw 1.2 scoreless innings Wednesday against the Astros while earning his third save of the year. He did not allow a hit and struck out one in the effort.

Impact Susler relieved Paul Fry with a man on and one out in the eighth and sent down all five batters he faced with relative ease. He picked up his second save over the last five days as it appears he'll continue to be in the mix for save opportunities for the time being. He could be an option to scoop up in AL-only leagues but overall still isn't very trustworthy on most rosters given the fact that he's still in a committee on one of the worst teams in baseball. Sulser now owns a 2.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB over 30.2 innings.

JUNE 29, 2021 • Associated Press

Picks up second save Sulser walked one and struck out one in a scoreless 10th inning Friday to record his second save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact He earned this save by getting Vladimir Guerrero to ground into a double play with two on and nobody out. Both of Sulser's saves have come in June, and he's put himself back into the high-leverage mix for Baltimore with a 2.30 ERA and 40:10 K:BB through 27.1 innings on the year.
