Flaherty Falters as Tigers Fall 5-4 to Rangers

Flaherty gave up two runs in the third and left the game early, and the Tigers’ relief staff—Enmanuel De Jesus, Brenan Hanifee, Brant Hurter and Burch Smith—were forced to cover the final 5⅓ innings. Texas scored the decisive run in the eighth, ending a rally that had tied the game at 4-4. The loss leaves Detroit (16‑17) behind the Rangers (16‑16) as the series continues Saturday. mchezo.life
