All things must come to an end. Winning streaks, healthy Brett Andersons and the box of Oreo cookies on top of your fridge. This week felt like the total opposite of where we were poised at this time last week.
Brett Anderson was pulled at the beginning of the sixth from Saturday night’s 5-1 loss to Houston. The official word is he left with Oblique Discomfort, and Anderson hopes to use the extra day off today to his advantage so he can rest and be ready for his scheduled start on Friday. Anderson, who has had a history of health issues, has left two previous games this season due to minor injuries — a neck strain on May 20th and an ankle sprain on April 21st.
