Dodgers Starting Pitcher Creates Special Moment Pitching at Home [Video]

The Los Angeles Dodgers were one of the more active teams at the trade deadline despite an offseason spending spree. Los Angeles has seen multiple injuries to key contributors throughout the season, leading to the front office needing to acquire more talent.

Notably in the starting rotation, the Dodgers have been hit with all sorts of injuries. This forced Los Angeles to make a trade to acquire right-hander Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers in a blockbuster move.

Flaherty is a local Southern California kid, so coming home to play for the Dodgers was a dream come true. He made his first start for Los Angeles on the road against the Oakland Athletics last week, shutting down the Oakland offense completely. He threw six innings without allowing a run and struck out seven.
