Minneapolis — He’s officially a Detroit Tiger now.
Rookie right-hander Michael Fulmer did not have the game ball from his first major league victory — which came in his debut Friday, a 9-2 romp over the Twins. But he got the beer shower.
And for players in this organization, that’s the time-honored and significant coronation.
“It was exactly what I dreamt of,” said Fulmer, who gave up seven hits and two runs in five innings. “It was a perfect scenario.”
The Tigers’ offense belted out 18 hits and took a lot of the drama out of the night.
