He also helped his own cause with an RBI single in the second in the teams first shutout at home this season.It was nice, Anderson said. Tiring, but it was good.Anderson actually tossed a few warmup pitches Tuesday before the first inning.

He struck out Adrian Gonzalez -- the top daytime hitter in the majors this season -- and then fanned Rob Segedin with a changeup.Anderson trotted back out for the seventh, and left to an ovation with one out and two on. Chris Rusin bailed him out by striking out pinch-hitter Yasmani Grandal and Howie Kendrick.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (mild disk irritation) had a successful outing in a simulated game Tuesday and now is in a momentary holding pattern.
