Giants' Scott Alexander: Gets minors deal from Giants

The Giants signed Alexander to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Alexander was cut loose by the Rockies in late May after allowing 11 runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 16.1 innings. However, the veteran southpaw had a career 3.20 ERA and 66.8 percent groundball rate prior to this season, making him worthy of a gamble on a minor-league pact.
