Greinke held the White Sox to one run over 8 2/3 innings Monday in the Diamondbacks’ 5-1 win. Greinke nearly had a complete game, but manager Torey Lovullo lifted the right-hander after Jose Abreu doubled with two outs in the top of the ninth. Greinke was brilliant, yielding just four hits and striking out 12 batters against just one walk. He’s now 6-2 on the year with a 2.82 ERA and he leads all National League pitchers in strikeouts with 78.
Anderson surrendered six runs on seven hits over four-plus innings in Sunday’s loss to the Cubs. Anderson started off on the wrong foot by allowing three runs in the first inning. He would proceed to yield solitary runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings before being relieved of duty. Three of the six runs on his line scored via the home run, with Ben Zobrist burning him for a solo shot and Kris Bryant burning him for a pair. This was the third consecutive outing in which Anderson has failed to toss at least five innings. He will carry a 4.25 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into today’s game.
