Fulmer (9-3) took the loss Monday in Seattle despite allowing just two runs on five hits with a walk and six strikeouts over seven innings.
Fulmer's third straight quality start wasn't enough to pick up a win at Safeco Field, as counterpart Hisashi Iwakuma shut the Tigers out over seven brilliant innings of work. The rookie still deservedly sports a tremendous record, and has held the opposition to two or fewer runs in 12 of his last 14 outings. With manager Brad Ausmus indicating that Fulmer isn't in significant danger of being limited by an innings cap, the 23-year-old should continue going full steam ahead in Sunday's trip to Globe Life Park in Arlington despite this minor setback.
