Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Falls to 1-3
Rotowire
Flaherty (1-3) took the loss against Houston on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Flaherty was given an early 3-0 lead, but he coughed up two runs on a Christian Walker homer in the bottom of the fourth inning. Another Astros two-run blast -- this time by Jose Altuve -- in the sixth frame gave Houston its first lead and set Flaherty up for his third straight defeat. The veteran righty hasn't pitched all that poorly during the three-loss streak, and Monday's outing marked the first time this season he's surrendered more than three runs in a game, but his ERA has increased from 1.62 to 3.34 during that stretch. Flaherty will look to get back in the win column his next time out, which lines up to come on the road against the Angels this weekend.

Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Fans nine in loss
Rotowire
Flaherty (1-2) yielded two runs on five hits over six innings Tuesday, striking out nine and taking a loss against the Padres.
The lone blemish on Flaherty's night was the two-run shot he allowed to Elias Diaz in the second inning. San Diego's offense provided no nothing in the 2-0 contest, leading to Flaherty being handed a loss. It was his first time completing six innings this season, and he tied his season best with nine punchouts. Flaherty forced 17 whiffs, including 10 with the knuckle curve. He'll carry a 2.63 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to come in Houston next week.
Flaherty (1-1) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four in 4.2 innings in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.
Flaherty had a troublesome second inning, which started with a solo home run from Rhys Hoskins followed by a triple from Sal Frelick, who also ended up scoring. Flaherty was eventually pulled at 98 pitches after walking William Contreras to bring Christian Yelich up to the plate. Tuesday marked just the second time since the start of last season that Flaherty failed to reach five innings. He's been an excellent complement to Tarik Skubal in the rotation, posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB in 21.1 innings so far. Flaherty lines up to face a tough Padres team at home next week.
Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Brilliant in no-decision Wednesday
Rotowire
Flaherty came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees, allowing three hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out nine.
In a battle of high-school teammates between Flaherty and New York lefty Max Fried, both of whom attended Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles, the duo combined for 20 strikeouts over 12.1 scoreless frames. Flaherty bowed out of the duel after 92 pitches (58 strikes) having racked up 31 called or swinging strikes. The right-hander has been impressive in his second stint with Detroit, and while he has yet to last six innings in a start, he's delivered a 1.62 ERA and 21:7 K:BB through 16.2 innings. Flaherty will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Milwaukee.
Flaherty (1-0) earned the win against the White Sox on Friday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Flaherty allowed his only run on a second-inning double and was lifted just one out shy of a quality start after reaching 95 pitches. The 29-year-old has delivered steady performances in each of his first two outings, compiling a 2.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across 11.1 innings. He'll face a tough test at home against the Yankees next week.
Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Settles for no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Flaherty came away with a no-decision in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander blanked the defending champs, and his teammates for the latter part of 2024, through five frames as Detroit grabbed an early 2-0 lead, but Flaherty exited after 83 pitches (50 strikes) after serving up a game-tying homer to Freddie Freeman in the sixth. Flaherty revived his career last year in a campaign split between the Tigers and Dodgers, and his performance in his 2025 debut suggests that rebound was no fluke. He lines up for a much less intimidating matchup next weekend at home against the White Sox.
