Dateline: Cincinnati
Brady Singer hopes to grab the Detroit Tigers by the tail, just like Buck Owens sings about.
The Reds' right hander is a quiet, steady starter, looking to improve on his 1-1 record and 5.32 ERA. His hunt has been on and off so far this season with a short start of 2 2/3 innings followed by two quality starts, a one run, six inning game against the San Francisco Giants in which he struggled early but grinded out a 2-1 win. His last outing on April 19. He allowed three earned runs early but gutted out six innings as the Reds came back to take a 7-4 victory in 10 innings.
As a member of the Kansas City Royals, Singer has faced the Tigers 15 times as rivals in the American League Central Division. He is 7-1 with a 3.16 lifetime against the Cats. He was the winner in an 11-1 win in Detroit on June 14, 2025. He pitched six innings allowing one run on four hits.
His mound opponent is Jack Flaherty a right hander who came through the Reds National League Central rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. Flaherty in his second season in Detroit is 0-1 with a 3.47 ERA. He has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his five starts. The opposition has scored a total of two runs in his last 15 innings, covering three starts. His last outing was a 3 1/3 effort in which he allowed two unearned runs on three hits and six walks against the Boston Red Sox. The walks caused an early exit.
Against the Reds he holds a 3-3 record with a 4.53 ERA in 11 starts. His last start against the Reds was the same 11-1 loss that Singer won. Flaherty was tagged with seven runs in 4 2/3 innings with home runs by Elly De La Cruz, Tyler Stephenson and Spencer Steer.
