The Vikings' pitcher stepped up to hand the Lions a 1-0 shutout on Tuesday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Vikings also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.

On the hitting side, Middleton saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ryan Collins, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one double.
