Tyler Alexander buckles down, Tigers get key hits to even series against Angels

DETROIT — The Saturday attendance at Comerica Park was 23,581 — thousands more of which, certainly, came to see Shohei Ohtani than, say, Victor Reyes and Kody Clemens.

But Reyes, with a two-out, go-ahead single and a key diving catch, and Clemens, with a double and single coming off the bench for an injured Jonathan Schoop, helped lead the Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels to even the three-game series at a one-run win apiece.

Tyler Alexander (3-7) gave up three runs on six hits through three innings and appeared headed for a short day, until he was nearly flawless over the next three innings. From the third through the sixth, he allowed a single base runner, and no runs, retiring nine in a row at one point.
