LOS ANGELES — Tyler Anderson addressed the media in the Dodger Stadium interview room before Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday night. This time of year, that's usually a strong indication the Dodgers left-hander will pitch the next game of the series.
But all manager Dave Roberts would commit to was that Anderson, who went 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA this season, would start Game 3 or 4 against the San Diego Padres in Petco Park on Friday or Saturday night. Right-hander Tony Gonsolin is expected to start the game Anderson doesn't.
"I think we're contemplating and want to leave it open-ended," Roberts said. "We've had conversation with Tyler and are kind of checking his pulse on being open to starting either one of those games. We'll see how [Game 2] goes and decide if it's going to be Tyler in Game 3 or 4."
