Hometown Kid Flaherty to Start World Series Game 1 in LA
Jack Flaherty, a native of Burbank, California, will start Game 1 of the World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Flaherty is 11-8 with a 3.22 ERA this season and has been one of the Cardinals’ most consistent starters. He has allowed two runs or fewer in seven of his last nine starts.
Flaherty grew up rooting for the Dodgers and attended games at Dodger Stadium. He was drafted by the Cardinals in the first round of the 2014 draft and made his major league debut in 2017.
Flaherty is excited to start Game 1 of the World Series in his hometown.
“It’s going to be a dream come true,” Flaherty said. “I’ve always wanted to pitch in the World Series, and to do it in my hometown is going to be something special.”
Flaherty will be opposed by Clayton Kershaw, who is 16-5 with a 2.73 ERA this season. Kershaw is one of the best pitchers in baseball and will be a tough matchup for the Cardinals.
But Flaherty is confident that he can get the Cardinals off to a good start in the World Series.
“I’m going to go out there and give it my all,” Flaherty said. “I know it’s going to be a tough challenge, but I’m ready for it.”
The Cardinals and Dodgers will play Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
