Jack Flaherty's impressive performance against the Chicago Cubs showcased his skills, as he pitched six scoreless innings despite challenges in the fourth inning. With a strong command of his fastball and secondary pitches, Flaherty managed to dominate a team known for high batting averages and scoring. His ability to leverage his breaking balls, especially a knee-buckling curveball, played a crucial role in his success. Defensive support helped him maintain control through threats, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 4-0 victory and underscoring Flaherty's potential this season.
"You want to feel things out as the way the game goes, but if you're able to establish and spin off of that (fastball) - which is typically a good thing when you can go out and command the ball - outside of that one inning I did a good job of that."
"(I got) bailed out with the defense there," Flaherty said.
