LAKELAND, Fla. -- Michael Fulmer headed to the mound for his final spring tuneup Sunday looking to stretch his pitch count close to the century mark. The Braves, who broke camp Sunday and were bound for Atlanta, stepped into the box at Joker Marchant Stadium looking to head to the airport.
In that sense, the resulting seven scoreless innings from Fulmer on two hits, an infield single and a bunt, in the Tigers' 10-3 win were not a surprise. And yet, the All-Star right-hander came away with things he wanted to work on ahead of his regular-season debut on Saturday against the Pirates at Comerica Park.
