Alexander allowed one run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in seven innings during a no-decision versus Toronto on Friday.
The only run on Alexander's line came via a solo home run by Vladimir Guerrero in the fourth inning. Other than that, the southpaw was excellent in his longest outing of the season and first quality start. The strong showing dropped his ERA to 4.25 with a 1.26 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB across 72 innings. The 27-year-old lines up for a rematch at home versus Toronto next weekend, potentially on longer rest since Detroit has two off days next week.
