Acquired at the trade deadline, Flaherty allowed five hits and struck out seven in his first start for the Dodgers and they snapped a three-game losing streak.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty throws to an Oakland Athletics batter during the first inning of a baseball game Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024, in Oakland, Calif. Acquired to stabilize an unsteady starting rotation and give the Dodgers hope for a dominant start at least once every five days, Flaherty did just that in his debut, giving the Dodgers six scoreless innings and working his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth.
The Dodgers went down to the wire at the trade deadline before sending two minor-league prospects to the Detroit Tigers for the best starting pitcher to change teams this week. Cavan Biggio lit the fire with a leadoff walk. After Nick Ahmed and Ohtani struck out, Teoscar Hernandez dropped a bloop double into no-man’s land beyond first base. Gavin Lux stroked an opposite-field single to score them both.
