Arlington, Texas — As a kid growing up outside of Dallas, Tigers left-hander Tyler Alexander often sat in Globe Life Park watching his beloved Rangers. He even got tickets to a 2011 World Series game.
But before Friday night, he'd only pitched on this field once.
"It was pretty cool," Alexander said. "I grew up going to games here, sitting in the stands. I can tell you exactly where I sat for that World Series game. I got to play a high school scrimmage game on this field as a freshman and I hadn't been on this field since.
