Fulmer (2-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings in Tuesday's win over Washington.
Fulmer was cruising until he was touched up for a two-run home run by Ryan Zimmerman in the fifth inning. He now has 16 strikeouts in 15 innings but has already allowed three home runs, continuing a problem he had at Triple-A to open the season, the main factor behind his 6.00 ERA. He has the stuff to miss bats at the major league level, but it remains to be seen if he has the command to get through games without making the kind of big mistake he made to Zimmerman on Tuesday night.
