Tigers' Alexander ties AL record with nine straight strikeouts but Castellanos' bombs power Reds

Detroit – On a historic day at Comerica Park, Tigers left-handed pitcher Tyler Alexander made history himself.

Alexander’s heroics were sandwiched between two home runs and a game-tying error by former Tiger Nick Castellanos as Cincinnati rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Tigers in the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader.

The Tigers tied the game 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth on a three-base, bases-loaded error by Castellanos, who dropped a drive to right-center field by Victor Reyes.
