MLB
Jack Flaherty struggled again, as the Tigers fell to the White Sox 9-6 last night. Flaherty opened strong, with four shutout innings. The wheels fell off in the fifth, when he recorded just one out. He was charged with five Chicago runs, although one run was walked in by reliever Brant Hurter. The Sox plated four more runs over the next three innings against Hurter, Codi Heuer and Tommy Kahnle. Dillon Dingler and Colt Keith homered for Detroit.
The Tigers wrap up that home set against the White Sox this afternoon. Keider Montero will pitch against Shane Smith. Coverage will begin at 1:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Brewers won their 11th straight last night, pounding the Pirates 14-0. Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes gave up homers to Sal Frelick and Brice Turang, and left after the fourth inning. Christian Yelich, Andrew Vaughn and Caleb Durbin also homered for the Crew. Freddy Peralta allowed just three hits over six innings, and earned his 14th win of the season.
The Brewers welcome the Pirates again this afternoon. Brandon Woodruff will pitch against Mitch Keller.
