Fulmer pitched 3.1 innings, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three Indians in Wednesday's no-decision.
In his final start of the regular season, the rookie came up three innings short of qualifying for the ERA title. A rain delay interfered with Fulmer's quest as he struggled to find any sort of rhythm throughout the evening. With the team fighting for a playoff spot, manager Brad Ausmus wasn't willing to let Fulmer try to work his way through the clunky performance. There's been something about the Indians that have caused the right-hander fits this year. Against the Tribe, Fulmer owns a 6.98 ERA and 1.97 WHIP (19.1 innings), compared to a 2.38 ERA and 0.96 WHIP (136.1 innings) against the rest of the league. Either way, the 23-year-old enjoyed a fantastic first season in the big leagues.
