The Detroit Tigers sent Michael Fulmer to the hill on Thursday afternoon to face the Toronto Blue Jays. Certainly, the Tigers’ brain trust was hoping to see some positives as they build a rotation. However, Fulmer flashed a lot of the form from 2020 where he was plumbing the depths of baseball with an ugly 8.78 ERA.
At the end of the day, it’s just one meaningless Spring Training outing where a starter was tagged and it counts for very little.
