## Detroit Tigers: Kerry CarpenterS Impact and Flaherty’s Dominant start
Jack Flaherty delivered his best start of the 2025 season, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 10-0 win over the Houston Astros on Monday, august 18th, at Comerica Park. The Tigers’ offense provided strong support with four home runs during a four-run stretch. Detroit Tigers need Flaherty to consistently pitch like a No. 2 starter as the postseason approaches.
The Tigers also activated Alex Lange from the injured list and optioned Spencer Turnbull to Triple-A.
On “Days of Roar,” a podcast hosted by Evan Petzold and Chris Castellani, the discussion centered on whether Kerry Carpenter needs more at-bats against left-handed pitchers.
Flaherty allowed no runs and three hits in seven innings, striking out nine batters.
