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 Morton, pairing a firm four-seam fastball with his signature curveball, was outstanding. He allowed a run on four hits with six strikeouts.

The Detroit Tigers have been playing some good baseball of late, and decisions at the trade deadline have paid off so far.  In the first half of the season, the

Detroit Tigers starter Charlie Morton surpassed Hall of Famers Randy Johnson, Nolan Ryan, John Smoltz and more with Saturday's performance.
