Drew Anderson allowed three runs in five innings and took the loss against the Royals on Saturday.

Anderson gave up five hits, walked one and struck out four. He fell to 4-5 with the loss. Anderson started the sixth inning, but was pulled after allowing a lead-off double. Tanner Rainey retired the next two batters only to allow the runner to score with two outs on a wild pitch, which was the third run charged to Anderson. He has a 3.66 ERA and 13/6 SO/BB in four starts since the Tigers moved him into the rotation. Anderson is lined up to face the Dodgers at home next weekend.
