Led by Hernan Perez's two hits and two RBIs, five of Milwaukee's eight starting position players tallied multiple hits to beat Red Sox starter Kyle Kendrick. The Brewers also overcame a short start for Chase Anderson, who needed 99 pitches to navigate 4 2/3 innings against Boston's persistent lineup. Anderson limited the damage to two runs, including Jackie Bradley Jr.'s second-inning solo home run.
Only nine times in 34 games has a Brewers pitcher delivered a quality start, the lowest total in the Majors. But the Brewers have more wins than eight other National League teams thanks to an offense that ranks third in the NL in runs per game.
