Anderson (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings in an 8-4 to the Mets.
The veteran right-hander didn't pitch badly while throwing 49 of 80 pitches for strikes and only made one real mistake, which Dominic Smith deposited in the seats for a two-run shot, but the Phillies weren't able to level the score and take him off the hook for the loss. Anderson lines up for a road rematch with the Mets on Monday.
