Early struggles erased by Iglesias' decisive bloop

"It was good," Iglesias said. "I was able to put the ball in play and find a hole and help the team to win."

The RBI atoned for what had been an 0-for-4 day, and Iglesias had stranded six runners on base.

"When he's at the plate, I always feel good about him," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "He's got a very low-maintenance swing. There's not a lot to it. He just tries to get the barrel on the ball. He's pretty quick; there's not a fastball that can be thrown by him when he's ready to hit, so I felt pretty good about him in that situation.
