Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty tossed a six-inning shutout with two hits and nine strikeouts against three walks in 94 pitches. The right-hander bested Cubs hurler Caleb Horton, who coughed up four runs on seven hits in five innings while adding six strikeouts and two walks.

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.

Baseball's two best teams will meet this weekend not in Los Angeles or New York or Philadelphia. The AL-best Detroit Tigers will host the NL-best Chicago Cubs for a three-game interleague series at Comerica Park.

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.
