PITTSBURGH -- Drew Anderson found himself in a different situation Sunday than most spot starters for the Phillies in recent seasons. His game at PNC Park really mattered to the organization, more than just an opportunity to get a look at another young arm.
The Phillies are no longer rebuilding. Every game matters.
Anderson allowed four runs in five innings in a 4-1 loss to the Pirates. It snapped the Phillies' six-game winning streak, although they remained tied with the Braves for first place in the National League East following Atlanta's loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee.
