Anderson didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Diamondbacks despite serving up six runs on seven hits and three walks in five innings. He also struck out three.
The former first-round draft pick hasn't been able to live up to his high expectations thus far, as Saturday's effort raised his ERA to a lofty 7.71 mark. More concerning was that Anderson gave up three home runs, marking the sixth straight start with a home run allowed. Fortunately, he avoided taking the loss thanks to a Rockies rally in the ninth inning, but that hardly masks the poor outing the 27-year-old put together. Anderson will look to right the ship in a rematch with the Diamondbacks on Friday.
