Phillies, Cubs open four-game series at Wrigley

CHICAGO -- Brett Anderson is still trying to solve left-handed batters, and control remains an occasional issue for the Chicago Cubs left-hander as he prepares to make his fifth start of the season Monday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Even so, Cubs manager Joe Maddon thinks Anderson's best days are yet to come as his team opens a weeklong homestand.

Anderson picked up his second victory on April 24, a 14-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

"It was really encouraging, a really good game to build on," Maddon said.
