Shaun Anderson earned his first victory since 2019 on Sunday, giving up one run on one hit over 2 2/3 innings against the Dodgers.
Anderson was called upon with two men on and one out in the seventh inning with the Angels leading 4-1. He got Mookie Betts on a fly ball to center field but then served up a game-tying three-run homer to Will Smith. The Angels would take the lead back in the top half of the eighth though, and Anderson retired the Dodgers in order in each of the next two innings to close it out. It’s the first win for the 30-year-old right-hander since he won three games for the Giants way back during the 2019 campaign. He now sports a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 9/2 K/BB ratio over 7 1/3 innings in his first three appearances with the Halos.
