Anderson held the Mets to a single run on seven hits over six innings Thursday, but received no decision. He struck out five in the eventual 2-1 victory.
The rookie was outdueled by Mets ace Jacob deGrom, but the Rockies' ninth-inning rally got Anderson off the hook and won the game. Although Anderson still isn't quite trustworthy at Coors Field, where he has a 1.43 WHIP, the 26-year-old southpaw has shown terrific control, posting a 46:10 K:BB over 54 innings. He's also done a great job keeping the ball in the yard -- another common struggle for Rockies pitchers. A college pitcher who took a while to move through the minor leagues despite success at every stop, Anderson may indeed be that rare Colorado arm who's worth owning in fantasy.
