MILWAUKEE — Kyle Kendrick will need to be sharp from the outset Wednesday when takes the mound for the Boston Red Sox in the second game of a three-game interleague series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park.
The Brewers’ offense is wasting little time getting started this season. In the first inning this season, Milwaukee is batting .326 with 15 doubles, nine home runs and 33 runs after erupting for five runs in the opening inning of an 11-7 victory over Boston on Tuesday.
“It’s a great trait,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. “It’s something we’ve talked about a lot, when that starting pitcher is not quite settled into what he’s doing, it’s his first time out there in five days, it’s a great opportunity — sometimes your best opportunity — to get that guy before he gets going.
