Monday night, Chase Anderson gets the nod for the Arizona Diamondbacks as they face Homer Bailey and the Cincinnati Reds. It will be the 12^th start for Anderson and the 21^st for Bailey.

Chase Anderson pitched to a no-decision in his last start and that held his record at 6 - 4 with a 3.58 ERA. In that outing, Anderson allowed 2 runs and 5 hits in 6 innings. He walked 3 and struck out 5. In his last 6 starts, Anderson is just 1 - 4. Prior to getting called up, Anderson was 4 - 2 with an ERA of 0.69 in 6 starts for Arizona's Double-A affiliate.

Anderson has never faced the Reds and will need to rely on the advice of the rest of the pitching staff as well as the scouting report to put together a game plan for this start.

Homer Bailey pitched to his 2^nd straight no-decision the last time he took the mound and that froze his record at 8 -5 with a 4.22 ERA. In that start, Bailey allowed 3 runs (on 3 solo home runs) and 4 hits in 6 innings of work as he walked 2 and struck out 3. The only bright spot was that he only allowed 4 hits and 3 of them were home runs. Bailey should be able to match his win total from 2013, when he went 11 - 12 with a 3.49 ERA in 32 starts.

Last season, Bailey didn't face the Diamondbacks and he has only opposed 7 of their hitters before. Arizona's Nick Evans is 2 for 3 against Bailey with a double and 2 RBIs.
