Iglesias being monitored for concussion... Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias was held out of Thursday's series finale against the Rays as team doctors continued to monitor him for concussion-like symptoms. Iglesias has not been diagnosed with a concussion, but he did not make the ride on the team bus following Wednesday night's game after feeling woozy. Iglesias was injured on the final play of the game attempting to turn an inning-ending double play after receiving a throw from second baseman Ian Kinsler.
This (starting pitching and offense) failing is not good. The Tigers already have enough to contend with in the bullpen. They can't afford to have any other weaknesses if they plan to continue play in the post season.

Although Francisco Rodriguez did his best to make it interesting - giving up a home run to Jason Castro. Francisco Rodriguez has allowed a run to score in five of his last seven outings.
