Yeah that final line looks nice. 4IP, 3H, 1R (HR), 1 BB, 6K.
This should give him something to build on and maybe finish the spring with a good string of starts.

They should be patient with him, but with question marks around Wacha, Wainwright, and Mikolas plus Reyes' health TBD, it is possible that Flaherty needs to figure out how to pitch in MLB real fast.
If this spring is any indication, he's figuring it out rather quickly.
Thanks cardsfantx, I was just assuming they would stop him at 4IP. Maybe they liked how he was rolling and wanted to push him a little further. Good stuff!
