Hurter (3-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on six hits in five innings against the Tigers. He struck out five.
Hurter was moved back into a bulk-relief role after making his first career start last time out, coming just a two-out Jarren Duran RBI single in the fifth inning away from holding the Red Sox off the board. It was the fourth time in six appearances this season that Hurter has tossed at least five innings, with Sunday's performance representing the first time he's allowed as few as one run during those appearances. Hurter lowered his ERA to 3.25 with a 0.94 WHIP and 26 strikeouts over 27.2 innings. Either as a starter or in a bulk-relief role, Hurter figures to make his next appearance when the Tigers travel to Oakland to take on the A's.
