Chase Anderson earned his third win in as many tries on Wednesday, allowing four runs -- one earned -- on eight hits over five innings in a 12-6 victory against the Padres.
Incredibly, Anderson has received 35 runs of support over three starts. Arizona isn't necessarily thrilled with his performance, but he's pitching well enough to stick in the rotation for now. "We try to encourage him to throw the ball the way he's thrown it in the minor leagues," manager Kirk Gibson told MLB.com before the game. Anderson was 4-2 with an 0.69 ERA in six starts for Double-A Mobile earlier this year, while he's posted a 4.02 ERA and 1.34 WHIP so far in the pros. Anderson better hope his offensive friends turn out again in Colorado next week. His ERA isn't safe.
