Matt Vierling delivers in Tigers' high-scoring victory
by Chris Schommer | Tigers Correspondent | Sun, Jul 14th 6:20am EDT
Matt Vierling went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI as the Tigers edged out the Dodgers 11-9.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included driving in a pair of crucial runs, adding a double to his season tally, and crossing the plate once himself. Vierling's season has been a mix of modest power and average production, with a .248 batting average and 12 homers over 85 games. His ability to contribute in clutch situations, as seen in this game, keeps him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues, though his high strikeout rate and low walk rate limit his appeal in formats that penalize for strikeouts or reward for on-base percentage. His consistent playing time and occasional power surges make him a potential utility or bench option in fantasy lineups, particularly in leagues that value RBI and extra-base hits.
