Brewers’ Anderson throws seven scoreless innings in win over Mets

AP

NEW YORK — Chase Anderson pitched seven shutout innings and the Brewers benefited — temporarily, anyway — when a Milwaukee bat boy bumped into Mets infielder Wilmer Flores on a foul popup Thursday in a 2-1 victory over New York.

NL Central-leading Milwaukee won the last two at Citi Field to salvage a four-game split.

The kooky play came in the fourth inning with the Brewers ahead 1-0 after they loaded the bases with one out.

Eric Sogard lofted a popup and Flores gave frantic chase along the railing of Milwaukee’s third base dugout.
