Hurter (0-1) was the pitcher of record Saturday in the Tigers' 3-1 loss to the Guardians, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts over five innings.
Hurter followed opener Alex Faedo and was burned by a three-run fifth frame. The rookie has served as a bulk reliever in both of his first two major-league appearances and has posted a solid 8:1 K:BB in eight innings. He increased his pitch count from 36 to 76 on Saturday and should remain in the mix for work as a starter or bulk reliever moving forward.
