Anderson was masterful Saturday, allowing a lone hit while striking out 11 Diamondbacks over seven innings in a 6-1 win. Anderson was nearly flawless in this one, carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning before a leadoff single ended his no-hit bid and his afternoon. Even without history, it was still a dominant performance from the 29-year-old, whose 11 strikeouts were a season high, while also walking three. The win improved him to 3-1 with a 3.72 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 10 starts. Anderson will try to replicate his success Thursday against the Mets. (Rotoworld)
Wheeler left Saturday’s game against the Pirates with a blister. Wheeler was at 94 pitches when he exited so his night was winding down anyway. The severity of his blister will determine Wheeler’s availability going forward. Despite the blister, Wheeler turned in a quality start (6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 5 Ks) and would have been in line for the win if not for a blown save by Addison Reed.
