For whatever reason, the Brewers seem to have something on Jack Flaherty that the rest of the league hasn’t figured out yet.
It wasn’t the 9-earned-run shellacking the Brewers gave him last week, but they were still able to score 3 runs early that are tied for the second-most runs he’s allowed in a start this year.
After striking out twice against him in the first inning, the Brewers mounted a rally in the second, thanks to some small ball. Dan Vogelbach led off the inning with a walk — one of two in three plate appearances for him in the game — and Keston Hiura followed with a single up the middle.
