Flaherty (10-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Flaherty was punished by the long ball Tuesday, as he allowed a solo home run to Ryan O'Hearn in the second and a two-run blast to Ramos Urias in the fifth, which proved to be the difference in the game. The loss was Flaherty's first since June 27 and he's now pitched to a 3.49 ERA over five starts with the Dodgers. For the year, the 28-year-old owns a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 167:26 K:BB in 135 innings. He lines up for a road start against the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Flaherty (10-5) picked up the win over the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk over 5.2 innings while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Flaherty hit Randy Arozarena with a pitch to lead off the second inning and the latter would eventually come around to score Seattle's first run on sac fly from Dominic Canzone. The right-hander then kept the Mariners off the board over the next three frames before allowing the first two men to reach in the sixth. Flaherty fell one out shy of his second quality start as a member of the Dodgers, but he did improve his streak of pitching at least five innings to 22 starts. He's gone 3-0 in four starts since being acquired by his new club, posting a 3.22 ERA over that stretch.

Flaherty allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Flaherty served up two homers resulting in three runs during the first frame as the Brewers jumped out to an early lead. The right-hander was able to settle down from there and didn't let any more runs cross the plate, averting what initially seemed like a potential blowup outing. Flaherty once again had his swing-and-miss stuff working, as he racked up 15 swinging strikes and seven punchouts -- marks he's reached in each of his three starts with the Dodgers so far. The veteran hurler has an impressive 24:4 K:BB over 16.2 innings during that span.

Flaherty (9-5) allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out 10 over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Flaherty allowed a solo shot to Oneil Cruz and a three-run home run to Joey Bart in the fifth. This was the first time in his last five starts that Flaherty gave up more than two runs, but the Dodgers gave him ample run support. The right-hander is now at a 2.97 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 150:21 K:BB through 118.1 innings over 20 starts between the Dodgers and the Tigers. Flaherty is projected for a tough road outing in Milwaukee for his next start.

Flaherty improved to 8-5 on the season Saturday in the Dodgers' 10-0 win over the Athletics while striking out seven over six shutout innings. He scattered five hits and one walk.
EDGE Analysis
Flaherty generated 16 whiffs in his Dodgers debut and generally stayed out of trouble after allowing back-to-back singles to begin the first inning, as he conceded just three more base hits and a walk the rest of the way. Dating back to his time in Detroit, Flaherty has yet to throw fewer than five innings in any start this season. Though he had already picked up seven wins in his 18 outings with Detroit, Flaherty's win potential should only increase moving forward in his future starts while he's backed by a superior Dodgers lineup.

Flaherty is slated to make his first start with the Dodgers in Oakland on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Before being traded to Los Angeles on Tuesday, Flaherty was scheduled to make his next start with the Tigers on Thursday. He'll instead get a couple extra days of rest and take the mound in the middle game of Los Angeles' weekend set in Oakland. Flaherty will look to extend a fantastic two-month stretch during which he's posted a 1.77 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB over 45.2 innings while going 6-1 across eight starts.

The Yankees backed out of a potential trade for Flaherty due to medical concerns over the pitcher's lower back, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal says the Tigers and Yankees reached a preliminary agreement on a trade that would have sent Flaherty to New York, but the Yanks pulled out after reviewing the hurler's medical records. Flaherty has dealt with a back issue off and on since early June but has not required a trip to the injured list. For what it's worth, Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Tuesday that Flaherty is healthy and had been in line to start for them Thursday had he not been traded. It seems as though the Dodgers were just more willing to absorb some injury risk with Flaherty than the Yankees were.

The Tigers traded Flaherty to the Dodgers on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Flaherty's scheduled start for Monday was scratched to preserve him for a trade. The starter now finds himself in a rotation that is dealing with uncertainty due to a slew of injuries and rookie call-ups. In his last seven starts, he has a 2.08 ERA with a 0.87 WHIP along with 43 strikeouts across 39 innings. The right-hander was slotted to start for Detroit on Thursday, but it remains to be seen when he'll make his Dodgers debut and who the Tigers will receive in return.
