Big night at plate was needed for Iglesias

HOUSTON -- Jose Iglesias has tried his best to trust the process. But he needed a game like Wednesday as reassurance.

The Tigers' shortstop fell a triple shy of the cycle in Wednesday's 6-3 win, including a two-run homer in the ninth inning. But after a 4-for-36 slump led to a couple days off to clear his head, his first three-hit game since April 14 hit the mark in terms of positive reinforcement.

"Hitting is difficult," Iglesias said. "The only thing you can control is to put the ball in play and have a quality at-bat for the team and for myself.
