Anderson encouraged after strong start off DL

CLEVELAND -- When a pitcher returns from the disabled list, Indians manager Terry Francona isn't looking for anything specific to assure him that the pitcher has returned to his previous form. For rookie starter Cody Anderson, he just wants to "throw the ball until they take it away" from him.

Anderson achieved his goal in Wednesday's 6-2 home victory against Milwaukee, exceeding his intended pitch count in his first start in nearly three weeks after hitting the DL with a strained oblique.

Anderson threw 76 pitches in 4 1/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks.
