Kansas City, Mo. — Brutal.

Michael Fulmer has been hit around at various times this season, but the former American League Rookie of the Year was bludgeoned Wednesday by the Kansas City Royals.

He gave up seven runs and eight hits and didn’t survive the fourth inning as the Tigers’ current losing streak is now at five games after a 9-2 loss.

Fulmer gave up two home runs — to Adalberto Mondesi and Alex Gordon. He gave up two triples — to Hunter Dozier and Mondesi. And he gave up three doubles — two to No.
