Detroit – Michael Fulmer is doing things very few rookie pitchers have ever done in a Tigers uniform. Mark Fidrych didn’t do it. Justin Verlander didn’t do it.
Only John Hiller back in 1967 and Victor Santos in 2001 have dominated like Fulmer has in his last three starts.
The hard-throwing right-hander posted his third consecutive scoreless outing, blanking the hard-hitting Blue Jays over six innings in the Tigers 11-0 romp Monday night.
In his last three starts, he has amassed 21.1 consecutive scoreless innings. He allowed three hits in 7.2 innings against the A’s, then two hits in 7.
