Blue Jays Opposing Pitcher Report: Michael Fulmer
On Sunday, June 3, the Blue Jays complete their three-game set against the Detroit Tigers. The matchup features a battle of the 2016 ERA race—Michael Fulmer against Aaron Sanchez.
In 2016 Aaron Sanchez won the ERA crown with an ERA of 3.00. However, just behind Sanchez, Michael Fulmer finished the season with a 3.06 ERA. There was some controversy as the Tigers did not play the final game of their season. Some questioned if Fulmer would have passed Sanchez if he had been able to start the 162nd game. However, it’s all academic now—Sanchez will forever be the 2016 ERA champ. As well, the rookie of the year award was a good consolation prize for Fulmer.
