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.

We were all told before this series began that the Tigers were a very, very good team. The Cubs, I believe, are also a very, very good team, but on this beautiful Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park, they were shut down by Jack Flaherty and three Detroit relievers.
