Special to The Detroit News
Detroit — The Tigers just keep on rolling.
They finished their second sweep since the All-Star break, finishing off the Texas Rangers, 7-5, on Thursday at Comerica Park, their seventh consecutive victory.
"I’m proud of our entire team’s performance," Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. "That’s a really good homestand to kickstart the second half."
Tyler Alexander was making his fourth start of the season for the Tigers as he transitions from occasional starter to official member of the rotation.
Before the game, Hinch said Alexander had followed a normal starter’s routine with a bullpen.
