With a new trick up his sleeve, Tigers' Tyler Alexander keeps putting up zeros

Detroit — Don’t play ping-pong against Tyler Alexander. Not for money or for anything you’d hate to lose.

He drew Michael Fulmer in the team’s clubhouse ping-pong tournament on Monday. Fulmer is pretty darn good, too. But it’s hard to stay on point against Alexander. His non-stop narration can’t help but distract you.

“Nice friendly game, just volleys back and forth,” he said as he and Fulmer were engaged in a long, polite rally. “Until somebody decides to WIN IT!”

He punctuated that last sentence by blasting one right by an unsuspecting Fulmer.

Change of pace is his specialty, after all.
