Brewers Rally in 5th
With the game tied at 2, the Milwaukee Brewers scored four runs in the 5th inning to take control of the game.
Milwaukee’s Keon Broxton hit a lead off double and then was driven in by Eric Thames to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead.
Thames would then score after Travis Shaw hit into a fielder’s choice in which Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia threw to shortstop Xander Bogaerts for the out.
Shaw would later score on a throwing error by Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez to give the Brewers a 5-2 lead. The Brewers would add another run to go up 6-2 in the inning.
The Brewers would add their final run of the game in the sixth inning on another throwing error by Vazquez and hold on to beat the Red Sox 7-4.
Red Sox starting pitcher Kyle Kendrick gave up six runs and 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings and got the loss.
