Jack Faherty gets the ball for the Tigers tonight. Flaherty (1-5) took the loss against the Rangers in his last outing, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts over three innings.
Flaherty endured his worst outing of the season and was pulled after throwing just 73 pitches.
The 29-year-old has yielded four or more earned runs in each of his past three outings and has not recorded a win since April 4.
He owns a 4.61 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB across 41 innings and will hope to turn things around for the Blue Jays this evening.
Francis allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.
Bowden Francis has turned his fortunes around after a bumpy few games. Francis earned his third quality start of the season with his last effort, which saw him throw 59 of 89 pitches for strikes.
He had allowed 11 runs across his previous 7.1 innings before finding some success in Seattle.
He's now at a 5.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB across 61.2 innings over eight starts this season. Francis looks to get back to his stellar form against a Tigers lineup that has been very good so far this season.
