The Detroit Tigers did not get this road series started off on the right foot against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night, losing 14-8 and dropping a rare second game in a row this season. It was a particularly poor outing for right-hander Jack Flaherty and likely his worst in a Tigers uniform, getting pulled from the game after just 2.1 innings after allowing six hits and eight earned runs with three walks as well. Although, that is now back-to-back poor starts for Flaherty after he allowed seven hits and seven runs with a staggering five walks against the Cincinnati Reds. Flaherty’s ERA over the last two has ballooned from an impressive 3.41 mark after dominating the Chicago Cubs all the way up to an ugly looking 4.83.
