Fulmer (10-7) gave up six earned runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings in Friday's 11-4 loss to the Indians. He struck out three.
Despite having a full week since his last start, Fulmer once again showed some evidence of hitting a rookie wall. He was touched up early, giving up a double to Mike Napoli in the first and a two-run single to Carlos Santana in the second. Napoli got to him again in the fifth with a 390-foot shot that plated Jason Kipnis and helped put an end to Fulmer's night. The 23-year-old has now given up six earned runs twice in his last five starts and failed to complete six full innings in three of his last five trips to the mound. He'll look to get back on track when he takes on the Twins next Thursday.
