The last time Carson Fulmer pitched at Guaranteed Rate Field, he endured a day he’d rather forget.
Five walks, three hits and two hit Rangers batters added up to an eight-run nightmare last May 18. He was sent down to Triple-A Charlotte the next day.
But the former starter was back on the mound in a relief role against the Rays on Monday, called up from Charlotte for a day because the Mariners so thoroughly wore out the Sox bullpen over the weekend.
And, boy, was he needed.
