Anderson came away with a no-decision Thursday despite allowing only one run on three hits and two walks over six innings in a 2-1 loss to the Rockies. He struck out four.
He was on the hook for the loss before Kirk Nieuwenhuis popped a solo homer in the seventh inning, but otherwise it was a very successful first outing of the season for Anderson, who threw 53 of 88 pitches for strikes. The righty will face another dangerous offense in his next start Tuesday in Toronto.
