Alexander (2-4) allowed just one run across six innings but took the loss Tuesday against the Twins. He gave up four hits and a walk while striking out six.
Alexander had one of his better outings of the season, but the Tigers didn't score any runs while the lefty was on the mound. Despite the tough loss, Alexander continued his good performance lately, as this was the third time in his last four starts that he allowed two runs or fewer. He'll have one more chance to impress in the regular-season finale Sunday against the White Sox.
