Jack Flaherty pitched six innings of shutout ball against the Chicago Cubs, helping Detroit Tigers win the game 4-0 today at packed Comerica Park.

Detroit – Jack Flaherty locked down one of the most potent offenses in baseball for six innings Sunday, helping the Tigers take down the Chicago Cubs 4-0 in the rubber match of the three-game series before another sellout crowd (40,343) at Comerica Park. The three games against the Cubs drew 121,509.

Jack Flaherty pitched six strong innings, Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run double and the host Detroit Tigers blanked the Chicago Cubs, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon.

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell, center, argues with home plate umpire Derek Thomas (53) after Nico Hoerner, right, was ejected for arguing after being called out on strikes during the fifth inning of a baseball game Sunday, June 8, 2025, in Detroit. Counsell was also ejected from the game.

The squad totaled just four hits in the latter contest, and second baseman Nico Hoerner got ejected by home plate umpire Derek Thomas for arguing balls and strikes in the top of the fifth inning. Shortstop Dansby Swanson hit a leadoff double with the Cubs down 2-0 to start the frame before Hoerner came up.

Nico Hoerner couldn't believe that expressing himself and saying a few 'non-offensive' words to the umpire would lead to his ejection in Sunday's MLB game. It was a frustrating situation on a disappointing day where they lost 4-0 to the Detroit Tigers.

Despite the first two games of the series staying Under the total, Tom Oldfield's Cubs vs. Tigers predictions expect a lot of early offense this afternoon.
