Arlington, Texas — Making his first start in 14 days, there was bound to be some rust. And there was — roughly 64 pitches and four innings worth.
That’s how long it took for Tigers starter Michael Fulmer to start looking like himself Monday, and by then, irrevocable damage had been done and the Tigers were on their way to a 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
“I feel good,” Fulmer said. “That’s really the only positive I can take out of today. I was just out of sync, especially that first inning. I kind of got better as the game went on, but I felt like every pitch was either a ball or right down the middle.
