Anderson didn't factor into the decision on Friday versus the Cubs, giving up two earned runs on five hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was solid throughout his time on the mound, firing 52 of 85 pitches for strikes and only giving up a two-run homer to Alberto Almora, Jr. in the fifth. The 28-year-old has now only given up Friday's two earned runs over his last three starts, a span of 16.2 innings. He's also yielded no more than three earned runs in any start since June 28, lowering his ERA from 5.45 to 4.47 during that period. Anderson will look to continue his stretch of strong pitching when he takes on the Reds next Friday.
