Flaherty will remain with Detroit for at least one additional season after signing a two-year, $35 million pact last offseason to return to the Tigers after winning a World Series title with the Dodgers. The 30-year-old righty recorded an underwhelming 4.64 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 188/59 K/BB ratio across 161 innings over 31 starts this past season. He’ll aim to put together a rebound campaign before testing the open market again next offseason.

Flaherty could have been pulled down 2-0 in the third, but he bounced back that inning to strike out Julio Rodríguez and Jorge Polanco with two on and then benefitted from Josh Naylor’s 394-foot drive to right-center, which would have been a homer in 11 ballparks, being caught on the track at Comerica. He was then left in for the fourth, which started with a homer and a walk before Flaherty struck out Victor Robles and was pulled. The inherited runner came around to score off Tommy Kahnle. The loss leaves Flaherty 2-6 with a 5.24 ERA lifetime in the postseason.

He’ll be followed by Casey Mize in Game 4 (if necessary) on Wednesday. Tarik Skubal would then get the call if the series goes to a decisive fifth game back in Seattle on Friday evening. Flaherty is coming off of a strong outing against the Guardians in the Wild Card round where he allowed just one run on three hits over 4 2/3 quality frames.

The 29-year-old right-hander punched out four batters on the afternoon while issuing a pair of walks. The lone tally against him came on an RBI single by Jose Ramirez on a 3-2 pitch with first base open in the fourth inning. Flaherty got seven whiffs on 74 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 31 percent. The next time that he takes the mound will come against the Mariners in the Division Series.

Flaherty was amped tonight, with his fastball averaging 1.2 mph than his season norm. He wound up striking out six and walking none, but it was another rough day at the office anyway. He’ll finish as the only AL pitcher with 15 losses unless the White Sox’s Tyler Alexander picks up one more in relief. The Tigers have gone 9-22 in his 31 starts.

The Tigers were shut out tonight, so Flaherty took his 14th loss. He’s tied with Tyler Alexander for the high total there among AL pitchers. It’s hardly all his fault, but the Tigers are 9-21 in his starts, compared to 76-46 the rest of the time. He’s slated to face the Guardians again next week.

Flaherty allowed only two hits and one walk tonight, but he still did need 99 pitches to get his 15 outs, preventing him from working deep into the game. That didn’t prove to be much of an issue, though, as the Tigers expanded their lead from 2-0 to 11-1 after he departed. It’s just Flaherty’s third win in his last 16 starts. He’s now 8-14 with a 4.69 ERA for the year, and he’ll get the Guardians next.

Flaherty struck out two batters on the evening while issuing two free passes. The White Sox had traffic on the bases against him in every inning, scratching out single runs in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings. The 29-year-old right-hander got just six swings and misses on 83 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll try to put this one behind him and get back on track as he carries a 4.85 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 171/54 K/BB ratio (146 2/3 innings) into Thursday’s battle against the Yankees in New York.

Flaherty and Stephen Kolek both pitched well, so neither was able to get the win they deserved. Flaherty allowed four hits with two walks, and he struck out four. The one blemish was a solo homer from Maikel Garcia. Flaherty still has an ugly 4.74 ERA on the season, but he’s still capable of starts like this. He has a friendly matchup on paper against the White Sox on Friday.

Flaherty struck out three batters on the day and didn’t allow a base on balls. After retiring the first eight batters that he faced in order, the Royals strung together seven consecutive two-out hits in the third inning to push six runs across. Flaherty then settled in and kept the Royals off the board until he allowed the first two hitters to reach in the sixth inning — both of which ultimately scored against the Tigers’ bullpen. He got just six whiffs on 87 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 28 percent. He’ll try to pick up the pieces as he carries a miserable 4.87 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 165/50 K/BB ratio (136 2/3 innings) into a rematch against the Royals in Kansas City on Saturday.

Flaherty has been terribly inconsistent, but it’s nice to see he can still do this on occasion. The nine strikeouts matched a season high, which he’d already achieved four times. He won just the seventh time opposite 12 losses. The Tigers are 8-17 when he pitches and 66-36 the rest of the time. He’ll face the Royals on Sunday.

Flaherty had shut out the White Sox through his first four frames, but everything fell apart in the fifth as they put together six singles in the first seven batters of the inning to push four runs across. Another run would score against the bullpen after Flaherty exited. Overall, he surrendered five runs on eight hits over 4 1/3 innings while walking one and striking out six. He got 19 whiffs on 86 pitches in the game — 12 on his knuckle curve — while posting a CSW of 35 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he carries a 4.76 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 153/49 K/BB ratio (124 2/3 innings) into Monday’s matchup against the Astros.

Flaherty is now 6-11 on the season. The right-hander was fantastic against the Phillies over his last two outings. This one wouldn’t come close to qualifying as excellent. Mediocre would probably be too kind, as well. The 29-year-old allowed eight hits and a walk while striking out three, and that pushes his ERA to 4.56 on the season. He’ll try and replicate his success prior to Wednesday against the White Sox in Chicago on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old right-hander racked up seven strikeouts on the night while issuing three free passes. He shut the Phillies out completely through the first six innings then allowed a leadoff single in the seventh before turning the ball over to the bullpen. That run ultimately scored against the Tigers’ bullpen — as did another pair of runs to cost him his hard-earned victory. Flaherty generated 15 swings and misses on 95 pitches on the evening, registering a CSW of 33 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 4.36 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 144/47 K/BB ratio (115 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Twins.

Flaherty punched out seven batters on the afternoon. All five of the hits that he allowed were singles. The only real threat against him came in the opening inning as the Jays put together a pair of two-out singles, but Flaherty battled back to strike out Addison Barger to squash the threat. He got 16 whiffs on 106 pitches on the day — seven of those on his slider — while posting a CSW of 30 percent. Now 6-10 on the season, he’ll look to further improve upon his 4.51 ERA and 1.28 WHIP as he does battle against the Phillies in Philadelphia on Saturday.

All of the runs came in the second, when the Pirates came up with three singles and two walks, but Flaherty was in trouble throughout — he also had two men reach in both the first and third — and things would have been quite a bit worse if he hadn’t racked up six strikeouts. Still, it was a poor showing against a poor offense. Flaherty’s ERA is up to 4.77, and while he’s definitely not going to be replaced, he’s a big reason the Tigers need to think about trading for another starter in the hopes of making a long postseason run.

Flaherty gave up four hits, walked two and struck out seven. The 29-year-old right-hander has struck out at least seven batters in each of his last four starts. While Flaherty’s ERA is 4.65, his 3.60 xFIP indicates he’s been unlucky. He could help himself by inducing more ground balls as his 34 percent ground ball percentage is five percent lower than last year’s 39 percent ground percentage. Flaherty takes a 124/40 K/BB ratio in 100 2/3 innings into the All-Star break.

The 29-year-old right-hander scattered seven hits on the evening while issuing one base on balls. He served up a solo homer to Jonathan Aranda in the opening inning and then allowed an RBI single to Josh Lowe in the third inning, but that was the extent of the damage done against him. Flaherty got 16 swings and misses on 93 pitches on the night — nine of those on his knucklecurve — while posting a CSW of 34 percent. He’ll likely finish the first half with a 5-9 record, 4.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and a 117/38 K/BB ratio over 95 2/3 innings in 18 starts, though there’s still a chance he could work in the first half finale on Sunday against the Mariners.

Flaherty made a nice recovery from a two-run, 41-pitch first inning and needed only 56 pitches to get his remaining 12 outs. He wound up with 16 missed swings and a nice 36% CSW while matching his season high in strikeouts. It’s been a tough stretch for the right-hander, who had lost each of his last three starts before the no-decision here, but tonight should make those rostering him feel a little better.

The runs all came in the third after Flaherty walked two and gave up a 438-foot bomb to Nick Kurtz. Flaherty struck out seven, and the other four hits he allowed were all singles. With the stuff he was wielding tonight — he had 19 whiffs, with 11 coming on his 21 curves — the results really should have been better. He’ll face the Nationals next week.

Yikes. Flaherty also issued three free passes while striking out three batters on the night. The Rays jumped on him early and often in this one, as Yandy Diaz blasted a leadoff home run to spark a four-run rally in the opening inning. After navigating a scoreless second, the Rays went right back to work in the third inning as Taylor Walls smacked a three-run double that mercifully chased Flaherty from the game. He now holds an uninspiring 4.83 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 93/31 K/BB ratio across 78 1/3 innings on the season. He’ll try to pick up the pieces on Thursday when he takes on the Athletics.

Flaherty opened with three scoreless frames today before giving up a solo homer to Elly De La Cruz in the fourth and a grand slam to Tyler Stephenson as part of a six-run fifth. Spencer Steer also took him deep in the inning. Coming into this one, Flaherty had allowed a total of two homers and six runs in his previous five starts combined. He also walked five today, topping his previous season high by two. The loss took his ERA from 3.41 to 4.03. He’ll try to shake it off before taking on the Rays next week.

Flaherty gave up two hits, walked three and struck out nine. The 29-year-old right-hander has been on a roll lately. In his last three starts, he’s allowed one run and struck out 21 over 18 innings. Flaherty continues to show that his 2024 season wasn’t a fluke as he’s mostly repeated his production from a year ago. He’ll face the Reds at home next weekend.

Flaherty got five runs of support in the first two innings, and the Tigers were up 10-1 when he departed. It’s been a streaky season for the right-hander thus far; he had a 1.62 ERA in his first three starts, a 6.66 mark over his next five and now he’s at 2.59 in his last four. He’s set to face the Cubs next time out, probably on Sunday.

The 29-year-old right-hander punched out eight batters on the evening. Both of the hits that he allowed were singles and only once did the Giants put two runners on base against him — as Flaherty plunked Jung Hoo Lee with two outs in the first inning — but he rallied to strike out Matt Chapman to end that early threat. He generated 13 whiffs on 97 pitches on the night, seven of those on his fastball, while registering a CSW of 34 percent. Flaherty will look to replicate this fine performance as he totes a 3.94 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 72/19 K/BB ratio (59 1/3 innings) into Monday’s battle against the White Sox in Chicago.

The 29-year-old right-hander piled up six strikeouts on the night while issuing one base on balls. He kept the Blue Jays off the board through the first 5 2/3 innings, but then allowed an infield single to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with two outs in the sixth and then served up an opposite-field two-run shot to Daulton Varsho on an 0-2 offering. Flaherty got nine whiffs on 90 pitches on the night, registering a strong CSW of 33 percent. Now 2-5 on the season, he’ll carry a 4.44 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 56/15 K/BB ratio (46 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

Flaherty was already giving up more hard contact than usual this season, and it really caught up to him tonight. He has surrendered 13 earned runs over 13 2/3 innings in his last three starts, taking his ERA from 2.63 to 4.61. We wouldn’t give up on him in mixed leagues right now, especially since he’s in such a good situation in Detroit. Still, those who had excessively high hopes based on his first few weeks need to keep their expectations in check.

Flaherty allowed just an unearned run over the first five innings, but imploded in the sixth. He allowed a pair of two-run singles to Luis Rengifo and Kyren Paris before exiting. He did only walk one, but what looked like a dominant outing turned into a disappointing one relatively quickly. He’ll be back on the bump against the struggling Texas offense next weekend.

Flaherty allowed a pair of two-run homers; one to Christian Walker in the fourth and another to Jose Altuve two innings later. Minus those roundtrippers the right-hander pitched fine, but it’s hard to erase a pair of two-run blasts.

Flaherty struck out nine in his longest start of the season. Alas, run support has been an issue as he’s opened up 1-2 with a 2.63 ERA. The Tigers have been shut out in each of his last two starts, and they haven’t scored with him in the ballgame since Apr. 4. Flaherty will face the Astros next.
