Detroit Tigers' Jack Flaherty Pitches Six Scoreless Innings Beat San Francisco Giants

Jack Flaherty delivered his best start of the 2025 season on May 27, pitching six scoreless innings with two hits allowed, one walk, and eight strikeouts to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Flaherty credited improved mechanics and a repeatable delivery for his enhanced fastball command, which averaged 92.8 mph, helping him escape early jams and retire the final 11 batters he faced. The Tigers' offense was supported by Riley Greene, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs, and Wenceel Pérez, who homered in his first at-bat after returning from the injured list. Giants starter Logan Webb also pitched six innings with 10 strikeouts but allowed three runs on seven hits, while San Francisco manager Bob Melvin was ejected in the fifth inning. This win marked the Tigers' third straight victory, bolstered by solid pitching performances and timely hitting, while Flaherty's ability to reset and maintain poise was praised by manager A.J. Hinch. Both teams entered the game with strong pitching stats, but Flaherty's dominant start and Detroit's offensive production proved decisive.
