Flaherty (11-6) picked up the win Monday against Arizona, allowing one run on five hits and three walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.
Flaherty walked more than two batters for the first time this season, but he allowed only one of eight baserunners to score. The 28-year-old has struck out seven or more batters in four of six starts with Los Angeles, tallying a 3.18 ERA and a 1.29 ERA across 34 innings since the trade. Flaherty is tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week against the Guardians this weekend.

Dodgers' Jack Flaherty: Posts quality start
Rotowire
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dodgers' Jack Flaherty: Racks up 10 strikeouts in win
Rotowire
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.
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.
Dodgers' Jack Flaherty: Hurls six scoreless frames in debut
Rotowire
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.
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.
