Anderson (2-4) allowed three runs on five hits and a pair of walks across 5.2 innings in a losing effort Saturday against the Dodgers. He also struck out eight.
After initially being tabbed for Thursday's start, the date change ultimately didn't change much about the southpaw's performance. He continued to be plagued by the long ball, serving up his 10th homer of the season to Brett Eibner in the fifth. This also comes on the heels of a 2016 campaign in which Anderson let only 12 balls leave the yard. He also needed 102 offerings to get through his evening, and although 68 of them went for strikes, his command began to tail off toward the end of his outing. Anderson will look to right the ship in his next scheduled start, Friday versus the Reds.
