Bottom 6th: Fulmer breezes despite walk

Tigers starter Michael Fulmer allowed his second baserunner of the night -- a one-out walk to Chris Coghlan -- but stranded him on first base. After getting Coco Crisp to fly out and Billy Burns to ground out, Fulmer got to a point few Tigers starters have been able to navigate through this season. He's thrown six shutout innings, allowing a hit and issuing a walk, while only striking out one. Fulmer hasn't been overpowering the A's, instead letting his defense play behind him and the offense provide some run support.
