'Wish it came sooner': Tigers topple Orioles, Tyler Alexander earns first big-league win

Detroit — Tyler Alexander had a litany of things poured on him by his teammates after Monday’s game.

Listerine, relish, yogurt and shaving cream were among the things dumped on the Tigers rookie left-hander. And he was fine he was the recipient of the hodge-podge shower.

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

“I felt like I was ahead of almost everybody, which helped keep my pitch count down,” Alexander said.
