CLEVELAND (AP) — Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty left after three innings of Friday night's game against Cleveland because of left leg discomfort.
Flaherty slipped on the mound during the first inning after delivering a fastball to Chase Delauter. Manager A.J. Hinch said after Detroit's 3-2 loss that the right-hander felt worse as the game went along.
Flaherty was receiving further testing after the game. He allowed two runs on three hits with one walk and one strikeout before leaving. He threw 63 pitches, including 39 strikes, and left with the Guardians up 2-1.
It is Flaherty's second-shortest outing of the season. He went two innings and allowed six runs in a 9-2 loss to Cincinnati on April 25.
Flaherty dropped to 1-8 and has a 5.35 ERA in 15 starts after Friday's outing.
