Cubs reliever Michael Fulmer saw manager David Ross in his office before the game Tuesday and walked in with something to say. 

“I told him that I know things haven’t gone well,” Fulmer said in a conversation with the Sun-Times, “but I’ve been working my ass off down in the bullpen and before the game and stuff. And I told him I’m not worried about it and things will get better.”
