Anderson allowed five earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five across 3.2 innings Saturday against the Mets. He did not factor in the decision.
Anderson continued his season-long troubles with walks and home runs. The trouble began immediately as he walked two batters in the first inning, leading to three runs. The Mets then added solo home runs in the second and third innings before chasing him in the fourth inning. After the game, Anderson said that he has been struggling with his mechanics but was confident he would get them figured out, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. While there is no guarantee Anderson can fix his issues, there is at least some explanation to his large increase in his walk and home-run rate compared to last season.
