Tyler Alexander flirts with a no-hitter as Tigers blitz Orioles, 11-0

Baltimore, Md. — The rather sudden hiring of Scott Harris as president of baseball operations wasn't the only plot twist Monday night.

Tyler Alexander might've bent a plot line or two himself.

The Tigers were 1-12 in his starts this season and his last few have been an absolute grind. He’d been tagged for 19 earned runs in 17 innings, yielding seven home runs and a .760 slugging percentage in his last four starts.

The Orioles saw a very different version of this veteran left-hander.

Throwing his four-seamer with precision and moving his cutter and changeup to different sides of the plate, Alexander took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of the Tigers' 11-0 romp.
