PHOENIX — When the Dodgers lost Andrew Heaney to a shoulder injury in mid-April, they didn’t have to look far to find the insurance policy they had purchased in March.
A career starter, Tyler Anderson moved into the rotation after Heaney’s injury and has proven to be much more than a stopgap. Anderson held the Arizona Diamondbacks scoreless for the first six innings as the Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks 3-1 and concluded their 10-game road trip with a sweep of the four-game series at Chase Field.
The Dodgers went 8-2 on the three-city tour, taking two of three in Philadelphia and Washington before sweeping the Diamondbacks.
