Tigers topple Orioles, Tyler Alexander earns first big-league win

Detroit – A win had to come sooner or later for Tyler Alexander.

The Tigers rookie left-hander entered Tuesday winless in five starts and an 5.40 ERA, but against a struggling Orioles team, Alexander was finally able to find his stride.

Alexander (1-3) picked up his first major league win, allowing just one run and four hits across six innings Monday, en route to a 5-2 Tigers win and series split against Baltimore at Comerica Park.

With the split, Detroit (45-104) remains four games ahead of Baltimore (49-101) for the first overall pick in next years’ amateur draft with 13 games remaining this season.
