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.
ANALYSISFlaherty 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.
