Against the New York Yankees, Anderson struck out six and allowed only one hit, a home run to Luke Voit. Anderson walked two Yankees and hit a batter.

He also got the win.

Anderson threw 90 pitches, 55 of them for strikes.

The No. 3 pick in the MLB draft, Anderson was supposed to debut Tuesday night. That game was postponed because of rain.
