KANSAS CITY -- Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias has already put up a highlight reel's worth of plays in his young career. On Wednesday, he put up more than highlights.
His diving stop from the other side of second base on the infield shift denied Kendrys Morales a leadoff single up the middle and earned closer Francisco Rodriguez a crucial first out in the ninth. Earlier, Iglesias' throw across his body with his momentum going toward left field kept speedy Jarrod Dyson off the basepaths leading off the third inning. Two innings later, Iglesias' field awareness to look for Alex Gordon breaking home finished off the unconventional 4-3-6-2 double play that ended a fifth-inning threat.
