Jack Flaherty Secures Second Straight Victory
Jack Flaherty allowed four hits and one earned run over six innings of work in Monday's 13-1 rout of the Chicago White Sox. The former first-round pick walked one and struck out four to notch his second straight win and third straight quality start. The lone tally against him came just before he exited the contest when Vinny Capra scored teammate Chase Meidroth on a groundout to shortstop. Flaherty has now pitched four consecutive appearances yielding three runs or less, lowering his ERA (3.72) and WHIP (1.09) to much more palatable figures. He'll carry a 4-6 record over 12 starts (65 1/3 innings) into his next outing -- a road matchup with the visiting Chicago Cubs later this week.
