Chicago — There haven’t been many revelations this season for the Tigers — not positive ones, anyway.
Tyler Alexander has been one.
If there was a depth chart at the start of spring training, the left-hander might have been the ninth or 10th starting pitcher on it — listed behind the likes of Ryan Carpenter, Kyle Funkhouser and Beau Burrows. To suggest he would be a contributing member of the Tigers rotation the final two-plus months of the season would’ve been absurd.
"Well, I knew if I threw well I'd have a chance," Alexander said.
