""I think that's what it's supposed to look like," Flaherty said. "I know I had some good outings mixed in there, but in terms of how I felt, my presence, being in sync -- that's more along the lines of what I want to feel like. The last time against them I felt like I was searching instead of going out, being in sync and competing.""
""He was really good," Hinch said. "He did have a little extra (Saturday), probably because he faced these guys before and had a rough game. He was very convicted in his pitches. I thought it was the best fastball he's had in a while and he carried it all the way through the outing." Flaherty (7-13, 4.74 ERA) has faced the White Sox three times this season, going 2-1 with a 3.94 ERA. He is 3-2 with a 3.45 ERA in six career starts"
Jack Flaherty produced alternating strong and poor starts during August, recording three outings of one or zero runs and three outings allowing at least five earned runs. He surrendered eight runs and 10 hits in five-plus innings on July 24 against Kansas City, then allowed one run and four hits over 5 2/3 innings in his next start versus the Royals. Manager A.J. Hinch praised Flaherty’s conviction and fastball after the bounce-back outing. Flaherty is 7-13 with a 4.74 ERA and has a 2-1 mark with a 3.94 ERA versus Chicago this season. Detroit stands 81-60 and leads the AL Central by 9½ games. White Sox rookie Shane Smith (4-7, 3.81 ERA) recently held Kansas City to one hit in seven innings and limited the New York Yankees to two runs.
