Cody Anderson went 7.2 shutout innings in his major-league debut, giving the Indians a chance to win the game in the bottom of the ninth.
Indians improve to 32-36
I don't think either the Indians or Cody Anderson imagined that his MLB debut would be this good. After a poor 2014, Anderson spent the winter in Arizona improving his flexibility, and it paid huge dividends, starting with a dominant stretch in Akron. And because of injuries, the Indians had been searching for a fifth starter all season. Anderson's off-season work combined with the team's need for a starter led to this somewhat improbable start, and even more improbable result.
