Fulmer has now gone four straight starts without giving up a run in at least six innings of work.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, he and the Cubs Jake Arrieta are the only pitchers since 1893 when the mound was moved to 60 feet, six inches, to post four straight scoreless starts of at least six innings with three hits or less.
Fulmer is the only pitcher to do it in the same season.
“I am just trying to go out and give my team a chance to win, and put up zeros while I am at it,” said Fulmer, who seems almost oblivious to the magnitude of his accomplishments.
His scoreless innings streak, going back to his final inning against Tampa Bay on May 21, stands at 28.1, which ranks second only to John Hiller, who set the rookie scoreless innings streak at 28.2 in 1967.
Asked if it was starting to get old, he laughed, “Absolutely not. It’s always fun to win.”
He is 7-1 on the season (5-1 on the road). He’s won his last five starts and the numbers he’s put up are sensational – 34.1 innings, 1 run, 13 hits, 30 strikeouts and 10 walks.
