That something was a perfect game into the sixth inning, a no-hitter into the eighth and a shutout bid into the ninth of what became a 4-2 Brewers win over the Cubs on Tuesday at Miller Park. Juan Nieves' gem in Baltimore on April 15, 1987, still stands as the only no-hitter in franchise history, but Anderson's consolation prize was a starring role in the Brewers' most complete victory this season.
They pitched, with Anderson working a career-high 8 2/3 innings and allowing three Cubs hits: Ben Zobrist's double leading off the eighth, and solo home runs for Jason Heyward and Kris Bryant with two outs in the ninth.
