Former Rider standout Chase Anderson drove in two runs Sunday to help his cause against the Braves.
ATLANTA – Milwaukee's Chase Anderson drove in his first two runs of the season Sunday to help his cause, but the Rider grad took a no-decision in a 8-7 loss against the Atlanta Braves.
Anderson's two-run single tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the second. It was his fourth hit this season and gives him nine RBIs for his career.
The Wichitan allowed four earned runs and five hits in four innings, striking out four and walking two. Anderson remains 7-7 and had his ERA inch up to 3.97 in 24 starts (129.1 innings) this season, his fifth in the big leagues.
He gave up three straight hits with two outs in the first inning as Atlanta jumped out to a 2-0 advantage. After Anderson tied it, the Braves added two more in the second with rookie phenom Ronald Acuna Jr. hitting a two-run homer.
It was the 24th home run Anderson has allowed this year, the most among National League pitchers.
Brasier update: Wichitan Ryan Brasier struck out the only batter he faced Sunday, fanning Baltimore's Trey Mancini with the bases loaded to end the sixth inning.
The Red Sox went on to win 4-1 to pull off a four-game sweep of the Orioles. It was Brasier's 15th appearance for Boston and the Rider grad has a 1.13 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 16 innings.
