Jack Flaherty

Player News

Flaherty allowed a pair of two-run homers; one to Christian Walker in the fourth and another to Jose Altuve two innings later. Minus those roundtrippers the right-hander pitched fine, but it's hard to erase a pair of two-run blasts.

Altuve hit second behind Jeremy Pena again -- with Pena going 2-for-4 and scoring a pair of runs in the contest -- and it went well for the 34-year-old. He socked a two-run blast off Jack Flaherty that gave the Astros a 4-3 lead in the sixth, and he picked up his third RBI of the day with a fielder's choice in the seventh. Altuve is now hitting .282/.316/.409 on the season, and while that's a far cry from his best campaigns, it's also far from unuseable as well.

Shota Imanaga, Freddy Peralta and Logan Webb are among the projected two-start pitchers for the fifth week of the 2025 MLB season.
