Fulmer (7-2) pitched 5.2 innings, allowing one run, five hits and four walks while striking out five in Friday's loss to the Royals.
Fulmer was one out away from recording his sixth straight quality start, but served up a solo shot to Salvador Perez, which ended Fulmer's scoreless streak at 33.1 innings. He was hooked after walking the next two hitters. The loss was only the second of Fulmer's MLB career, and the first since May 5. The 23-year-old rookie has provided fantasy owners with more than they could have hoped for through the first part of this season. Fulmer's ERA is elite, his 8.7 K/9 is fruitful, and he dishes one of the better fastballs (94.7 mph) among starting pitchers.
