After Kyle Wright struggled with his curveball and allowed three homers in a 6-4 loss on Thursday night, the Braves will hand the ball to Ian Anderson in Game Two as they look to knot up their five-game set against the division-leading Mets.
It’s been a roller coaster ride of a season for Anderson so far, as he’s struggled in the first inning, struggled the third time through the order, and sometimes just struggled in general through his first 20 starts of the year. While his 119 ERA- is inflated relative to his 107 FIP- and 104 xFIP-, none of those numbers are particularly good.
