Tigers' Alex Wilson a man of conviction on, off field

Kansas City, Mo. — Alex Wilson expected a different line of questioning.

He took to Twitter late Thursday night to vent about quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s personal protest during the playing of the national anthem. He expected to be asked about his passionate stance.

And he was, ultimately.

But more germane to the matter at hand — the start of crucial three-game series against the Royals — was how Wilson has once again made himself an integral piece of a Tigers’ bullpen that since the All-Star break has been one of the stingiest in the American League.
