Despite walking five, Drew Anderson shut out the Dodgers for 4 2/3 innings on Friday.
Anderson was one out away from qualifying for a win in a 1-0 game, but with the bases loaded and Max Muncy coming up, pulling him seemed like the right move. Drew Sommers struck out Muncy out to initially maintain the lead, but he went on to give up the tying run in the sixth. Anderson has a 2.82 ERA in five starts since moving into the Detroit rotation, though he’s totaled just 22 1/3 innings in those games. He’ll face the Twins next week.
