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.
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, manager AJ Hinch said that Alexander had followed a normal starter’s routine with a bullpen and hoped he would be able to make it four or five innings against the Texas Rangers.
