Wednesday night, Tigers rookie Michael Fulmer needed to throw at least 6 1/3 innings against the Indians to qualify for the ERA title. He went into the game with 155 2/3 innings on the season, and it takes 162 innings -- one per team game, more precisely -- to qualify for the league ERA title.

Because of a lengthy rain delay, plus a rough first inning, Fulmer was only able to complete 3 1/3 innings Wednesday night.
