One start after recording arguably his best performance of the season, Diamondbacks starter Chase Anderson was hit hard by the Phillies in a 7-6 loss Wednesday.
Anderson lasted just five innings, giving up nine hits and five runs - a far cry from his outing on Aug. 7, when he struck out seven and scattered four hits in a win over the Reds in his first start back since coming off the disabled list.
Anderson (5-5) did strike out five batters and didn't walk anyone, but the Phillies made solid contact off him throughout his time on the mound. Anderson has now lost three of his last four starts and seen his ERA rise to 4.31.
