Anderson (5-6) allowed five runs (but just two earned) on eight hits despite seven strikeouts in a loss Monday to the Cardinals.

Anderson struck out at least seven batters for the fifth time in 18 starts and induced 13 swinging strikes as he continues to show nasty stuff in his rookie season. He owns a brilliant 98:26 K:BB in 108 innings to support a 3.58 ERA. Anderson is starting to look like one of the brightest young pitching prospects the Rockies have graduated in a long time.
