Fulmer set the all-time record for consecutive scoreless innings by a Tigers rookie with 33 1/3. The previous mark was 28 2/3 by John Hiller in 1967. Fulmer lasted 5 2/3 innings and gave up five hits and four walks to go with five strikeouts. It is the longest streak by a rookie since Fernando Valenzuela went 35 straight in 1981.
Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura was brilliant for the second straight start. After striking out 10 White Sox over seven innings in a win last Sunday, Ventura shut out the Tigers through 6 1/3 innings. He walked none and struck out five.
