 | Thursday, September 24th, 2015: Houston Loses Fullerton, Will Miss Season
Houston fans will be disappointed to learn that Richard Fullerton developed a strained back muscle while throwing a pitch in today's game. After the doctor informed the Houston Astros manager that Fullerton was expected to miss 4 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the closer could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
In 2015 he has made 61 relief appearances with 36 saves. Fullerton has also fashioned a 8-0 won-lost mark with a 1.10 ERA. In 73.2 innings he has fanned 114.
