Fulmer loses no-no, but bests Angels in finale
- Updated: June 2, 2016
ANAHEIM — Tigers rookie Michael Fulmer carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and helped his club avoid a sweep at Angel Stadium on Wednesday, leading Detroit to a 3-0 victory in the series finale for its first win in Anaheim in 10 games.
Fulmer didn’t surrender a hit until C.J. Cron lined a single with two outs in the seventh, and the right-hander finished giving up only two hits and two walks in 7 2/3 innings, striking out eight. The 23-year-old has now thrown 7 2/3 scoreless innings in back-to-back starts, moving to 5-1 with a 3.24 ERA.
The Tigers scored off Matt Shoemaker on a couple of RBI singles, by Ian Kinsler in the fifth and by Jarrod Saltalamacchia in the sixth. In the ninth, Angels fill-in shortstop Gregorio Petit booted a slow roller from J.D. Martinez that could’ve resulted in an inning-ending double play and instead gave Detroit its third run.
The Angels, without Yunel Escobar and Albert Pujols in the starting lineup, threatened in the eighth, getting a two-out ground-rule double by Petit to put runners on second and third with two outs. But Francisco Rodriguez got Johnny Giavotella to ground out, then kept the Angels scoreless in the ninth, recording his 401st career save in his first appearance as a visitor at Angel Stadium.
