EDGE Analysis

The Tigers supplied all the run support the southpaw could have asked for, but Alexander wasn't efficient enough to qualify for his third win, getting the hook after 79 pitches (50 strikes). He'll take a 4.25 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 66:19 K:BB through 78.1 innings into his next appearance.
