Jack Flaherty strikes out eight in win over Jays
Jack Flaherty delivered a strong performance in Friday night’s victory over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on just three hits over 5 2/3 innings of work.
Advice: The right-hander piled up eight strikeouts on the evening while issuing just one base on balls. All of the damage done against him came in his final inning of work, as Flaherty issued a two-out walk to Spencer Horowitz and then lost a nine-pitch battle to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that resulted in a mammoth 445-foot two-run blast. Overall, Flaherty got 17 swings and misses on 98 pitches on the night — eight on his slider — while posting a CSW of 32 percent. He’ll carry a 7-5 record, 3.13 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 127/17 K/BB ratio (100 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Guardians in Cleveland.
