Anderson (2-5) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk with six strikeouts over 8.2 innings in a win Monday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and a shutout into the ninth. He ran out of gas before he could get the final out, allowing a pair of solo home runs to Jason Heyward and Kris Bryant, but for eight innings he locked down arguably the best lineup in baseball. He induced 11 swinging strikes in 110 pitches, drew 10 ground outs, and held the Cubs to zero hits in just four at-bats with runners in scoring position. After four starts of allowing at least four earned runs from April 18 through May 5, Anderson now has a pair of quality starts in a row. However, he still has a 5.32 ERA and has now given up 11 home runs in just eight starts.
