Tyler Anderson opened up the 2021 season with 25 straight starts of 5 or more innings. It’s an incredible stretch, made even more so by the fact that last year was the shortened season, and you would expect a hiccup somewhere along the line.
It was an unlikely culprit that did him in, as he was unable to go five innings against the Astros.
