The month of May was not kind to Michael Fulmer.

In six starts, the Detroit Tigers pitcher compiled a 6.32 ERA, allowing 22 earned runs in 31 1/3 innings. His last outing, when he gave up six hits and five earned runs to the Los Angeles Angels on May 29, was one of Fulmer’s worst on the season.

Sunday’s start against the Toronto Blue Jays showed incremental improvement — although it might not appear that way on the periphery.
