Brewers' Anderson outduels Greinke with 7 no-hit innings

Chase Anderson was oh, so close.

The Milwaukee Brewers right-hander carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday evening before Nick Ahmed broke things up with a leadoff single.

Anderson outdueled pitching counterpart Zack Greinke, striking out a career-high 11, before he was replaced by Rob Scahill.

The 29-year-old Anderson exited to a standing ovation from the Miller Park audience after his brilliant performance, where he threw 114 pitches.

"I could throw 150 pitches today. I didn't care," Anderson told reporters, including MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.

On May 17, 2016, Anderson also pitched deep into a game against the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park without allowing a hit, tossing seven no-hit innings in that particular contest before Ben Zobrist roped a double to break things up.

Anderson lowered his season ERA to 3.72 while earning his third win of the season with the Brewers 6-1 victory.
