A feeling of deja vu set in at Miller Park on Wednesday night. One night after Zach Davies dominated the A’s with a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, Chase Anderson nearly matched it, taking his own attempt at a no-hitter deep into the sixth as part of a 4-0 Milwaukee Brewers win to complete a two-game sweep of Oakland.

Anderson (4-6) did not allow a hit until there were two outs in the sixth inning and finished the game giving up two hits in 6 2/3 innings. The righthander struck out four in earning his second consecutive win and improved to 3-1 with a 2.03 ERA in his last five outings.

Meanwhile, the offense came almost exclusively from the bat of first baseman Chris Carter, who slugged a two-run homer in the second inning and a three-run blast in the sixth to account for all five of Milwaukee’s runs. Carter leads the team with 16 homers and 39 runs batted in after the two monster shots beyond the centerfield wall. [Read more…]
