Monday's 8-6 Tiger victory over the Los Angeles Angels showed why Quintin Berry is making a diference with the Tigers, Dana Wakiji writes..
With two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning and the Tigers trailing 5-2, Berry laid down a perfect bunt for a base hit. After Cabrera walked, Berry scored on Prince Fielder's single.
In the seventh inning, Berry led off with a single. He stole second and then after Cabrera grounded out and the Angels walked Fielder intentionally, Berry stole third, his team-leading 14th stolen base.
Delmon Young's sacrifice fly scored Berry, tying the game at 5. Brennan Boesch untied it with a two-run home run.
In the eighth, Alex Avila and Jackson walked. With one out, Berry hit a single to center field that scored Avila for the final margin of victory. It also gave closer Jose Valverde a little extra breathing room.
