MLB
The Detroit Tigers fell to the Texas Rangers last night 6-2. Starter Michael Fulmer threw only 75 pitches in his first outing after coming off the disabled list, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks in five innings of work. Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler and manager Brad Ausmus were both ejected in the 5th inning after Kinsler argued a call on a pitch. Detroit’s only runs came off a 2-run homerun by Justin Upton in the 1st inning.
