Jack Flaherty Picks Up Quality Start In No-Decision
9 months agoDetroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty looked good in his first start with the Tigers on Sunday, allowing just one earned run on four hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out seven in six innings pitched to pick up a no-decision in Detroit's eventual 3-2 victory on the road. Korey Lee's solo home run was the only blemish on Flaherty's line. The 28-year-old went 8-9 last year with a 4.99 ERA (4.36 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP with 66 walks and 148 strikeouts in 144 1/3 innings over 29 appearances (27 starts) for the St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles. Injuries and control problems have become an issue for Flaherty in recent seasons, but he still has the stuff to help fantasy managers in juicy matchups like the one he had on Sunday versus Chicago. He has another one coming up in his next scheduled start against the Oakland Athletics.
