Matt Vierling will lead for the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night in Philadelphia. The Tigers (65-47) and Phillies (62-48) have split the first two games of the series and will play the rubber match in a nationally televised game at 7:10 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park.

The 41 year-old twirled a gem in his first start with Detroit. Charlie Morton, who the Tigers acquired at the trade deadline, was fantastic in his debut, shutting down the Philadelphia Phillies over six strong innings.

President of baseball Scott Harris, as is his way, took it right to the wire Thursday, adding 41-year-old veteran starting pitcher Charlie Morton from the Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers also got cash back in the deal and sent left-handed pitcher Micah Ashman, who was recently promoted to Double-A Erie, to the Orioles.
