The rookie right-hander Michael Fulmer, a former Mets prospect who was sent to the Tigers’ system last season as part of a trade for Yoenis Cespedes, dominated the crosstown Yankees Sunday in Detroit’s 4-1 victory at Yankee Stadium.

Fulmer, 23, has been sharp recently, and on Sunday he gave up no runs, three walks and two hits over six innings, extending his scoreless innings streak to 28⅓ and his winning streak to five games. His scoreless innings streak is the second-longest by a Tigers rookie in franchise history, behind John Hiller’s 28⅔ innings in 1967.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Fulmer is also the only pitcher since 1893 to record four straight starts in a single season with at least six shutout innings while also allowing no more than three hits.

Fulmer improved to 7-1 and lowered his E.R.A. to 2.52 in 53⅔ innings for the season. He seems to be enjoying his success.
