Detroit — You wished you could’ve eavesdropped on their conversation.
There on the field engaged in conversation at Comerica Park Saturday night, long after the Tigers had secured a doubleheader sweep of the Twins with an extra-inning, walk-off single by Miguel Cabrera, were former Tigers pitcher Doug Fister and current Tigers pitcher Tyler Alexander
They are both in the baseball record books, each striking out nine consecutive hitters in a game — Fister on Sept. 27, 2012 against the Royals and Alexander on Aug. 2, 2020 against the Reds.
“It was cool getting to talk to him,” Alexander said.
