EDGE Analysis

Anderson ended up recording a no-decision, as the Cubs lost in 11 innings. It was a good team debut for the lefty, who battled Mike Montgomery for the No. 5 rotation spot during spring training. The talent has always been there for Anderson, but staying healthy has been the challenge. He's scheduled to face the Dodgers on Wednesday in his next start.
