In 11 starts against all other teams, Kluber is 6-2 with a 1.94 ERA.
In 19 career appearances against Detroit, Kluber is 6-7 with a 4.59 ERA.
The heart of the Tigers' order all hit .300 or better in their career against Kluber.
Miguel Cabrera (.442) leads the way with six homers in 52 plate appearances, followed by Justin Upton (.385), Victor Martinez (.341), Nicholas Castellanos (.333), and J.D. Martinez (.308).
Fulmer has been one of the hardest pitchers to make quality contact against this season. Among 39 pitchers with at least 300 batted balls against them, Fulmer's average exit velocity of 85.4 mph ranks sixth-best, according to Statcast.
Fulmer's fastball, in particular, has been hard to touch. Among 125 starters with at least 50 fastballs put in play, his .228 expected batting average ranks 27th-best, according to Statcast.

SUNDAY'S BRIEFING:
1. Michael Fulmer and Corey Kluber were both invited to the All-Star game, but neither will pitch on Tuesday. Instead, they'll battle in the series finale on Sunday night in Cleveland. The Indians are going for the sweep.
2. There was a bit of depressing news at about 1:30 a.m. this morning when the Oakland Athletics finished off a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners.
The Tigers are now tied for the worst record in the 15-team American League with the Chicago White Sox, who have been actively imploding their roster since the winter.
3. Goodbye, first half. Very few Tigers will miss you. A very long summer could loom ahead.
