Jack Flaherty Implodes In Game 5, Gives Up Eight Earned Runs
1 month agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty laid an egg on Friday night as he only went three innings deep and gave up eight earned runs in the Dodgers' 12-6 loss to the New York Mets. Flaherty gave up eight hits, walked four and didn't strike out a single batter in his outing. It's a big step back for the 29-year-old who was dominant to start the series in Game 1. Flaherty now has two starts this postseason with four earned runs or more given up. As one of the Dodgers' few reliable starters that are healthy for the postseason, Los Angeles was hoping to get a better performance out of their trade deadline acquisition. Flaherty won't have another chance to improve on his numbers this series, rather he will have to wait until the World Series should the Dodgers advance. DFS managers will want to approach him with caution given his volatility this postseason.
