Detroit — It was a strange night for lefty starter Tyler Alexander and a mostly dreadful night for the Tigers.
The six-game winning streak is over as the Minnesota Twins opened up the final home stand of the season at Comerica Park Friday night with a 7-0 win over the Tigers. It was the 22nd time they have been shut out this season, most tying the Major League single-season record.
It was also the seventh time this season the game was so out of hand that infielder Kody Clemens had to pitch.
Alexander came in having allowed just one run in 13 innings over his last two starts.
