ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Michael Fulmer continued his historic rookie pitching run for the Detroit Tigers, and Victor Martinez contributed three-run home runs from both sides of the plate in a 10-2 romp over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.Fulmer (8-2) gave up two hits in seven shutout innings as the Tigers won their fourth straight. Fulmer became the first Detroit pitcher since 1913 to give up one run or fewer in eight straight starts.Every night he pitches hes been giving us a really good chance to win ballgames, Martinez said. Thats what you ask for.Fulmer struck out 10 and walked one, giving up singles to Cory Dickerson in the second inning and Logan Morrison in the seventh.Its pretty cool, Fulmer said of his eight-game streak, during which he is 6-1 with a 0.53 ERA. My mind is just to a win a ball game anyway I can so if I can throw up zeroes, thats just a bonus. Its a team game, and the way were playing right now, with the offense putting up 10 runs a night, it makes everybody else just relax and have fun playing this game.In two wins against the Rays, Fulmer has struck out 21 of the 49 batters he has faced.Hes good, theres no doubt about it, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. He pitches in, some really late life. I totally understand the success that hes having this year.Nick Castellanos drove in Detroits first run with a two-out double off Drew Smyly in the fourth. Cameron Maybins two-run single made it 3-0 in the sixth, extending his hitting streak to seven games during which the center fielder is hitting .500 (14 for 28) with nine RBI.Martinezs 15th home run came off reliever Danny Farquhar in the seventh. His 16th was off Enny Romero in the ninth, marking his third multi-homer game since June 16.Hes one of the best hitters Ive ever been around, especially with runners in scoring position, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. He makes the pitcher work, he can hit the ball to all fields and he can drive the ball from both sides of the plate.Smyly (2-9) gave up six hits and four earned runs while striking out eight in 6 2/3 innings.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: OF J.D. Martinez feels no pain in the fractured right elbow that is expected to keep him on the DL at least two more weeks. Martinez is basically trying to stay in shape with work in the weight room, according to Ausmus.Rays: OF Desmond Jennings, who left Thursdays game with left hamstring tightness, was out of the lineup Friday and is day to day. ... RF Steven Souza Jr. (strained left hip) went 0 for 3 with a walk in his first game of a rehab assignment with Class-A Charlotte. ... RHP Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) said he doesnt know yet if he will start a rehab assignment next week. ... INF Steve Pearce (strained right hamstring) has started hitting off a tee. ... Closer Alex Colome (right biceps tendinitis) could throw off a mound Sunday.LOOKING AHEAD (RAYS) AND BACK (TIGERS)Cash is trying not to dwell on Thursday nights 10-7 loss to Detroit, a game in which the Tigers scored eight in the ninth inning. All the losses hurt -- that one stung, theres no doubt, Cash said. It was pretty devastating. At the same time it counts as one loss, it doesnt count as five. ... According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it marked the first time the Tigers overcame a five-run deficit in the ninth inning to win a road game since July 7, 1922.UP NEXTDetroits Justin Verlander (7-6) will make his 335th career start Saturday against Tampa Bay rookie Blake Snell, who is 1-2 after four starts.Wholesale MLB Jerseys .

Were really close. Hes like a dad to me.I came over for his last couple of weeks when he got really sick but then he lasted another month and he passed away so I had to come back in a matter of weeks.It broke my heart. Ive grown up with all my family around me.

Its only family members asking for money, he said. ' ' '
