First, the Dodgers placed Brandon McCarthy on the disabled list with right hip stiffness. Then, Brett Anderson , making his season debut, exited after throwing a single inning.

Anderson struggled against an all-righty Pittsburgh Pirates lineup, surrendering five runs to the Pirates on multi-run homers by Jordy Mercer and Sean Rodriguez .
