LOS ANGELES – The first pitch Brett Anderson threw Tuesday night was redirected right back at his head. He swerved out of the way while the ball off Billy Burns’ bat seared through the middle of the infield, as if an omen of what was to come.
It was not. For the rest of his night, Anderson pitched in control, inducing 14 ground-ball outs over seven innings in his first start since he exited an outing early with an irritated Achilles’ tendon.
