FULMER FEELING VICTORIOUS: RHP Carson Fulmer will make his 250th career minor league start tonight and his eighth start in a Rainiers uniform, taking a winning decision in each of his last three starts, the second Rainiers pitcher to do so this season (aslo: Gabe Mosser, June 3-14)...Fulmer has thrown at least 6.0 innings in each of his last three starts, including a career-high 7.0 innings in his last start on July 17, matching his career-best for the fifth time and first since June 21, 2018 with Charlotte...in July, Fulmer leads the PCL with three wins, ranking fourth with 19.0 innings pitched, sixth with 18 strikeouts and seventh in opponent batting average.
