Chicago White Sox pitching prospects Carson Fulmer and Spencer Adams had solid outings on Friday for their respective teams. Fulmer, the Sox sixth ranked prospect pitched five scoreless innings for Triple-A Charlotte.
Fulmer who had a rough three inning start on May 28, has rebounded nicely from his bad outing. The 2015 first round draft pick has had two consecutive outings since May 28 where he hasn’t allowed more than one earned run. In his start on Friday on the road against the Gwinnett Braves, Fulmer allowed no earned runs on four hits while allowing just one walk and recording two strikeouts.
