Dodgers' Hitters Give Jack Flaherty a Big Boost and Sael a Win Over the Pirates

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty delivers against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first inning at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday, August 9, 2024. The 28-year-old right-hander who was acquired from the Detroit Tigers with minutes to spare before the July 30 trade deadline, was tagged for four earned runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings and needed just about every one of his 10 strikeouts to navigate heavy traffic on the basepaths throughout his 110-pitch effort.
