Anderson hurled a quality start against the A's on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk across six innings in a no-decision. He also struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's last two starts have been bad as he allowed nine hits and five runs in both outings, but this performance was much better. It appears he's hitting a bit of a wall as his ERA has jumped nearly a run and a half in his last ten starts. His 10-percent strikeout-to-walk rate is far too low compared to his minor league numbers (20-percent) and he should improve on that in years to come. Anderson has another very tough matchup in his next start when he travels to Coors Field to take on the Rockies on Wednesday.
