Anderson (2-0) struck out five over five scoreless innings and permitted just one hit and two walks to pick up the win over the Dodgers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was making his first start of the season after five relief appearances and surprisingly lasted for 82 pitches. The only threat against the 31-year-old came in the first inning, when he allowed a leadoff single to Joc Pederson and walked A.J. Pollock with two outs. However, he retired Cody Bellinger on a fly to center field and sailed along until he was removed for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the fifth. Anderson has a 3.00 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP this season, and it's not currently clear when he will be called on to make another start.
