When he was first told by Mud Hens manager Doug Mientkiewicz he would be starting his first Major League game, Alexander did not believe it.
From Detroit News:
“I didn’t believe him,” said Alexander, a lefthander who has been grinding in the Tigers system since 2015. “I stood there for a while, like, ‘You serious?’ It was an awesome moment. It’s a dream.”
Alexander, who is 24, is 2-9 with a 6.23 ERA in 15 games (14 starts) for Toledo.
