Diamondbacks starting pitcher Chase Anderson won his second start in a row to open his career Saturday against the Dodgers, but he needed plenty of help.
After allowing just one run in his first start, Anderson was much less sharp this time around. The Dodgers jumped on him for five runs in 5 1/3 innings if work, on seven hits and two walks. Anderson struck out two batters and was never really in trouble despite his struggles, as the Diamondbacks won, 18-7.
Anderson has one good and one bad start under his belt, and now we get to see how the 26-year-old responds to adversity. His next start is set for Friday against the Mets.
