Coming off a nice, mostly-comfortable victory to even up the three-game weekend series against the Astros in Detroit, the Tigers ran into a vintage performance from a familiar face, the bullpen laid an egg, and the Astros won the series with an easy 9-1 victory.
Jack Flaherty got the call for the Tigers, and coming into today he’s been on a roll. His previous two outings saw him strike out a combined 20 batters in 12u2154 innings, walking only two and giving up one home run. Flaherty has been a really nice pickup for the Tigers, with a WHIP just north of 1 and a ton of strikeouts.
