The Detroit Tigers got solid production from the back of the rotation this weekend, led by Tyler Alexander and one particular pitch.

Yesterday, Detroit Tigers fans saw history being made as Miguel Cabrera hit his 500th home run off lefty Steve Matz. The home run tied the game at 1, and Detroit would later take the series win to improve to 10-9 in August.
