Tigers' Jose Iglesias elevates his game, 'excited' about his future

Detroit — Told his four-RBI night Saturday was the second of his career, Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias seemed genuinely surprised.

“Really?” he said. “I did it before? Cool.”

If you haven’t been paying attention, Iglesias is playing some of his best baseball since the Tigers’ acquired him in 2013 — both in the field and at the plate. He had a pair of clutch, two-out, two-run hits Saturday, a double and his third homer of the year, helping the Tigers break out of an offensive funk that included a major league-high 13th shutout Friday.
