Flaherty found a way through his emotions to get the Cardinals one out shy of five innings Tuesday at T-Molina Park, and after his teammates had rallied to tie the game they came one swing shy of winning the game. Seattle’s Tim Beckham drove a pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning to send the host Mariners to a 5-4 victory. The Cardinals lost for the sixth time in seven games, and they slipped to 3-12 on the days immediately following an off day. After the game, Flaherty was given some time in the clubhouse and even offered the choice not to talk with the media.
