ARLINGTON, Texas -- Michael Fulmer watched Matt Boyd throw seven scoreless innings against Texas a night earlier.The Detroit rookie did his fellow starter two innings better, putting himself in the company of 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander.Fulmer pitched a four-hitter in the Tigers second straight shutout of the Rangers, and Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez homered among three hits apiece in a 7-0 victory Sunday.The 23-year-old right-hander became the first Tigers rookie to throw a shutout since Verlander 10 years ago. He retired 16 of the last 17 hitters he faced as Detroit kept the AL West-leading Rangers scoreless over the final 21 innings of the three-game series.The gem from Fulmer (10-3), whose longest previous outing was eight innings in a no-decision against Kansas City, came a day after the lefty Boyd, not far removed from rookie status himself, led a 2-0 victory against Texas ace left-hander Cole Hamels.What I learned was that they were an aggressive team against him, Fulmer, the AL rookie leader in wins, said after striking out nine -- two off his career best -- with no walks. I just looked to make quality pitches on 0-0 counts and early in the count and try to get grounders and weak pop-ups.Ian Kinsler added a solo shot against A.J. Griffin (5-2) after striking out his first three times against the Texas right-hander. Miguel Cabrera hit his team-leading 27th homer in the ninth.Fulmers streak of 13 straight retired ended with Nomar Mazaras single leading off the ninth. But Fulmer finished by getting the top of the Texas order -- Shin-Soo Choo, Ian Desmond and Carlos Beltran -- on his way to a career-high 112 pitches. All four Texas hits were singles.All I know is I feel good right now, said Fulmer, a 2011 first-round pick of the New York Mets who started the season at Triple-A Toledo. I could feel this good at 200 innings. Who knows? All I can do is control the present and keep pitching every fifth day.The best chance for Texas came in the fourth, when Desmond and Adrian Beltre singled around a flyout to the warning track in right by Beltran. Fulmer struck out Rougned Odor to end the threat.What was noticeable was the young man on the mound, Texas manager Jeff Banister said. He was able to do pretty much what he wanted to do.Victor Martinez started the scoring with a two-run shot in the fourth, and J.D. Martinez hit his 100th career homer to knock out Griffin and give the Tigers a 6-0 lead in the seventh.Griffin allowed 11 hits and six runs with eight strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings, his second-longest outing of the season. He gave up at least one homer for the 10th straight game, the longest single-season streak for the Rangers since reliever Joaquin Benoit in 2003.FULMER BITSThe righty became the 11th Detroit rookie with 100 strikeouts in a season, finishing the game with 103. The most recent was Armando Galarraga, who had 126 in 2008. ... He joined Philadelphias Zach Eflin (July 22 at Pittsburgh) as the only rookies with shutouts this season. ... Hes the first AL pitcher this season with six outings of at least six scoreless innings.SHORT HOPSOn Saturday, Hamels gave up two runs on 14 hits, which was a career high and tied the Texas record. According to the Rangers, hes the first pitcher to allow 14 or more hits and two or fewer runs since John Dopson for Montreal in July 1988. ... Cabreras home run was the 435th of his career, moving him past Juan Gonzalez and Andruw Jones into 44th on the homer list.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: Manager Brad Ausmus said there is hope that CF Cameron Maybin (sprained left thumb) can start swinging a bat late in the upcoming seven-game homestand. Hes been out since Aug. 4.Rangers: LHP Derek Holland (left shoulder inflammation) has another rehab outing with Triple-A Round Rock on Monday and is eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list Saturday.UP NEXTTigers: LHP Daniel Norris (1-0, 4.00 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series at home against Kansas City.

ZURICH -- Soccer great Franz Beckenbauer is a criminal suspect in a World Cup fraud case.Beckenbauers home in Austria was raided for evidence on Thursday on behalf of Swiss federal prosecutors investigating corruption linked to FIFA. Switzerlands attorney generals office said they had opened criminal proceedings against Beckenbauer and three other German members of the 2006 World Cup organizing committee.The four are suspected of fraud, money laundering, criminal mismanagement and misappropriation relating to a payment of 6.7 million euros ($7.3 million) to FIFA in 2005.Searches of premises or searches on a cooperative basis for the collection of evidence were carried out in eight separate locations (in Austria and Germany) at the same time today, the Swiss federal prosecution office said in a statement. In addition, various suspects were questioned by or on behalf of the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland.Beckenbauers lawyers said he is cooperating with all authorities involved.Franz Beckenbauer has supported the Swiss federal prosecutors investigations since he has known about them, and cooperated constructively in todays search, lawyers Werner Leitner and Michael Nesselhauf said in a statement reported by German news agency dpa.Three of the suspects are past or current members of FIFA ruling committee: Beckenbauer, Theo Zwanziger and Wolfgang Niersbach.Niersbach, whose term expires in 2019, was banned for one year by the FIFA ethics committee in July for not reporting suspected wrongdoing.The fourth criminal suspect is Horst Schmidt, vice president of the 2006 organizing committee.Beckenbauer, Zwanziger and Schmidt have also been under investigation for suspected bribery by the FIFA ethics committee for several months.The Swiss criminal case, formally opened last November but confirmed only on Thursday, has caused turmoil at the soccer federation of world champion Germany and tarnished the reputation of a World Cup that was a popular success. In Germany, the 2006 tournament has become known as its Summer Fairytale.It also threatens to wreck the reputation of the 70-year-old Beckenbauer, arguably the nations greatest ever player. The former Bayern Munich and New York Cosmos defender captained and coached West Germany to World Cup titles, then organized the tournament.It is suspected that the suspects willfully misled their fellow members of the executive board of the organizing committee for the 2006 World Cup, the Swiss prosecution office said. This was presumably done by the use of false pretenses or concealment of the truth, thus inducing the other committee members to act in a manner that caused (the German soccer federation) a financial loss.Beckenbauer headed his countrys bid to win the hosting rights in 2000 in a vote of the FIFA executive committee. Germany won 12-11 in a final-round vote againnst a South Africa bid backed by Nelson Mandela.dddddddddddd Beckenbauer then chaired the organizing committee.In February, the German soccer federation published a 361-page inquiry report that tried to explain a complex trail about payments of 6.7 million euros ($7.3 million) and 10 million Swiss francs ($10 million) being investigated by German and Swiss authorities.The money linked Beckenbauer, then-FIFA president Sepp Blatter, one-time FIFA power broker Mohamed bin Hammam and Robert Louis-Dreyfus, the late former Adidas executive and former part owner of Swiss marketing agency Infront.That inquiry, by law firm Freshfields, suggested a deeper involvement than previously suspected of Beckenbauer, who later joined the FIFA executive committee from 2007-11.It said the payment by the German federation to FIFA on April 27, 2005, was falsely declared by the World Cup organizing committee for an opening gala, but was intended for Louis-Dreyfus. That same day, FIFA transferred the money to a Swiss account set up by Louis-Dreyfus.The inquiry report said Blatter was aware of the payment, though the former FIFA president has denied the claim.Swiss jurisdiction in the proceedings is based on the fact that certain of the alleged criminal acts were carried out in Switzerland, which is also the suspected place of unlawful enrichment, the federal prosecution office said.In a separate investigation, German prosecutors and tax officials suspect tax evasion by the national soccer federation. That case led Niersbach and Helmut Sandrock to resign in recent months as the federations president and general secretary, respectively.The Swiss case announced Thursday did not mention Stefan Hans, chief financial officer for the 2006 organizing committee, who is also suspected in the FIFA ethics case.Swiss federal prosecutors are investigating the 2006 World Cup allegations as part of a wider probe of FIFAs business. It has already put Blatter under criminal investigation for two separate acts of suspected financial mismanagement.Swiss prosecutors are also working with the U.S. Department of Justice in its extensive investigation of corruption in world soccer.The American case has indicted more than 40 individuals and marketing agencies, including several former FIFA vice presidents, and has targeted $10 million in supposed bribes paid by South Africas successful bid to host the 2010 World Cup.Despite his legal issues, Niersbach is still a member of the executive committees of FIFA and European soccer body UEFA, after being elected last year by European member federations.UEFA said Thursday that Niersbach is not being replaced while he is not charged with any criminal offense and is appealing his FIFA ethics ban.
