Houston – Matt Vierling left some of his DNA in the right-field corner at Tropicana Field Sunday, diving head-long nearly into the sidewall trying to catch a foul ball.
"I'm going all out, man," he said.
His DNA was all over the Tigers' first win of the season Monday, too.
Vierling, who had three singles earlier in the game a run-saving catch, blasted a two-run home run in the 11th inning off reliever Hector Neris, giving the Tigers a dramatic 7-6 win over the defending World Series champion Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
