His only blemishes were a one-out walk in each inning, the latter of which was erased when Thompson grounded into a 5\u20134\u20133 double play to retire the side.<\/p>\n<p>Nevin said of Anderson, \u201cHe got his work in. I know (his location wasn\u2019t what) he wanted. But he hasn\u2019t seen many hitters yet. (It was) the first time out there, getting his feet wet. He hasn\u2019t faced many hitters. We\u2019re working on some new stuff with him. I\u2019m not worried about him at all. We\u2019re gonna keep running him out there. I know by Opening Day he\u2019ll be good to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anderson said his outing was \u201creally a chance to pitch on the clock.\u201d He added, \u201cObviously, you want to go out and compete and get guys out. But I really wanted to see how I felt with this clock. Would I feel like I was rushed or out of breath or had to hurry up? Make changes, game management type stuff. For me, that&#8217;s what the goal was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Facing his former team also factored into Anderson\u2019s goals for the outing. \u201cYou don&#8217;t want to go out and embarrass yourself,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd those guys obviously want to talk a lot of smack. They\u2019re my buddies, but you want to make sure you don&#8217;t give them too many bragging rights.\u201d He added that his delivery was a bit off but explained that the Angels are having him change his release point, so that was to be expected as he still works it out.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tony Gonsolin<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Dodgers starter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/gonsoto01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-03_br\"><strong>Tony Gonsolin<\/strong><\/a> also had his first spring outing Friday.

Gonsolin said he was \u201cfeeling good, feeling strong.\u201d He added that his goal for the season is to make it \u201cwall to wall, start to finish, and leave the results out of it. Whatever they are, go out there and try to do my best.\u201d Roberts said he \u201cthought Tony was good. I thought the ball was coming out okay.\u201d He added, \u201cThe breaking ball, that split-change was good.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>The Dodgers continue Cactus League play Saturday evening in Surprise, Arizona against the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/royals\/\">Kansas City Royals<\/a>.
