Fans turned out in historic fashion over the weekend to see two of the best teams in baseball as the Detroit Tigers hosted the Chicago Cubs in a three-game set at Comerica Park. Per @TigersPR on social media: Two of MLB's best teams and fanbases came together this weekend,

Jack Flaherty struck out nine over six scoreless innings as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago Cubs 4-0 and took two of three games in a matchup of two of the MLB's top teams.

The Cubs whiffed on eight of 16 swings at the knuckle-curve. Five of his nine strikeouts were with that pitch. Conversely, with the hitters focused on the spin, Flaherty stole 17 called strikes with a four-seam fastball that he was locating on the edges and especially at the bottom of the strike zone.
