Jack Flaherty has been everything the Los Angeles Dodgers hoped for in his first month in Los Angeles. As the postseason nears, he might have to do a little more.
Flaherty was solid on Tuesday night in the Dodgers’ series opener against the Baltimore Orioles at Dodger Stadium. The six-inning, three-run outing wasn’t enough for a win. It wasn’t even enough by his own standards.
“Overall, just two pitches that I’d really like back,” Flaherty said. “Just continuing to find ways to get outs. Gotta get deeper.”
Dodger Stadium held its collective breath in the fifth inning as Flaherty escaped a worst-case scenario when Colton Cowser drilled him on the right wrist with a line drive.
