Picks up save Fulmer nailed down the save Thursday against Minnesota after tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one.

Impact Fulmer has been on fire recently and has tossed 10 straight scoreless outings, and in fact, he has given up just two runs over his last 18 innings of work from Aug. 22 onward since he allowed three runs against the Angels on Aug. 19. The right-hander has gone 13-for-17 in save chances this season and owns a 3.01 ERA on the year, a figure that would rank as a career-best mark for him.

Nails down another save Fulmer earned his 12th save of the season Saturday against the Royals, allowing one hit with two strikeouts in 1.1 innings.

Impact Fulmer came on with two outs in the eighth inning and immediately put out a fire, striking out Andrew Benintendi to strand a pair of inherited runners. The Tigers added two runs to their 3-1 lead in the bottom of the frame, and Fulmer finished things off in the ninth. Fulmer has adjusted well to his new relief role in 2021, logging a 3.06 ERA and 72:18 K:BB over 67.2 innings.

Secures 11th save Fulmer earned the save against the White Sox on Tuesday after tossing 1.1 scoreless innings. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one.

Impact After allowing an inherited runner to score on an RBI single by Tim Anderson in the eighth, Fulmer returned in the ninth frame to finish things off. With two outs and a two-run lead, trouble loomed when Fulmer gave up a single to Eloy Jimenez and a walk to Yoan Moncada. The right-hander rebounded quickly by sending Leury Garcia down on strikes to finish off the victory. Fulmer now has 11 saves this season to go with a 3.12 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. With Gregory Soto out for the season, Fulmer looks to be the favorite for ninth-inning duties in Detroit.

Detroit Tigers' Michael Fulmer explains how they lost to Rays Detroit Tigers reliever Michael Fulmer talks Friday, Sept. 17, 2021, after his team's 7-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 10th inning.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Charged with blown save Fulmer allowed a hit and struck out one batter in Friday's loss to the Rays. He was not charged with a run but was tagged with a blown save.

Impact Fulmer took over in the ninth inning after Gregory Soto loaded the bases with no outs. All three runs would come in to score and Fulmer was charged with the blown save as the Rays forced extra innings. In 11 appearances since his last blown save on Aug. 19, the 28-year-old righty registered a 1.46 ERA with an 11:3 K:BB. Fulmer is sporting a 3.23 ERA with nine save this season.

Logs two-inning save Fulmer allowed a hit and struck out four to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Milwaukee.

Impact The right-hander protected a three-run lead over the last two innings of the contest to earn his ninth save of the year. He's posted 6.1 consecutive scoreless innings while adding three holds in his last five appearances. Fulmer has a 3.29 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:17 K:BB across 63 innings this year while earning a place in Detroit's closer committee, although he's often played second fiddle to Gregory Soto.

Takes loss in extras Fulmer (5-6) allowed one unearned run on a hit and two walks in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss in Wednesday's 3-2, extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The pair of free passes loaded the bases but were trivialized by Lars Nootbar's soft, game-winning single to right field. It was Fulmer's second loss in his last four appearances, though he's allowed only four earned runs in 13.2 innings since returning from the injured list in late July and has been a mostly reliable, high-leverage relief.

Notches four-out save Fulmer pitched 1.1 scoreless innings to record the save in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals. He allowed one hit and struck out one.

Impact Fulmer was called on to slow down the Cardinals in the bottom of the eighth and allowed two inherited runners to score on a Nolan Arenado double. However, the righty bounced back to strike out Yadier Molina, then cruised through the ninth inning to record his eighth save of the season in Detroit's 4-3 win. The 2016 Rookie of the Year has settled in nicely as a reliever this season after struggling mightily as a starter in 2020, albeit in just 10 games. Fulmer should continue to see save opportunities for the Tigers along with Gregory Soto from the left side.

Has rough outing Thursday Fulmer (5-5) allowed three runs on three hits in one inning of work to take the loss Thursday against the Angels. He walked one and struck out one.

Impact Fulmer came on in the seventh inning and allowed an inherited runner to score before getting out of the frame. However, things really got out of hand in the eighth as the Angels scored three times, with the key play a two-run home run by Max Stassi. Fulmer saw his ERA climb from 3.26 to 3.73 after the rough outing, though he should remain in the late-inning mix with the Tigers not having a dominant closer. Gregory Soto and Jose Cisnero should also continue to see save opportunities.

Picks up relief win Fulmer (5-4) earned the win in relief Saturday against Cleveland after tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one walk and fanning two.

Impact Fulmer needed just 14 pitches (eight strikes) to get the job done Saturday and now has tossed eight straight scoreless outings, a span in which he's also posted a strong 11:2 K:BB through 8.2 innings. The veteran has made just four starts this season but has worked almost exclusively out of the bullpen with strong results. He owns a 3.33 ERA across 48.2 innings.
