The Detroit Tigers earned their first victory of the season with a 7-6 win over the Houston Astros on Monday night. The game proved dramatic as the Tigers let a lead slip in the ninth inning but ultimately prevailed in extra innings. A key performance came from Matt Vierling, who made a sprawling catch with the bases loaded during the contest and later hit a decisive two-run home run in the 11th inning to break the tie and secure the win.
