Vierling went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

His first career homer in the big leagues came in the third inning off Wil Crowe, and it proved to be the game-winning hit as Ranger Suarez cruised to a shutout for the Phillies. Vierling has been a surprising contributor to the team's late-season push for the playoffs -- over the last 10 games, the 25-year-old is slashing .400/.448/.560.
