MILWAUKEE -- By pitching 7 2/3 scoreless innings in his last regular-season start on Sunday against the Nationals, lefty Tyler Anderson won the assignment to start Friday's Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers.
The other possibility was righty Jon Gray, but he allowed the Nationals five runs over two innings and isn't on Colorado's roster for the NLDS. There were questions about Anderson entering his regular-season finale Sunday because of left shoulder soreness that forced him to be scratched earlier that week. Also, Anderson had not earned a win since July 4.
