<h2>Pitching Match Up</h2>
<p>Boston: Kyle Kendrick (0-1, 13.50 ERA)<br><br />
Milwaukee: Chase Anderson (2-0, 2.86 ERA)</p>
<p>Kyle Kendrick goes for the Red Sox in this interleague game and in his last start he was not sharp going only four innings and giving up six earned runs in an 8-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. That start was his first one of the season for Boston and in his last season in the Majors in 2015 he was with the Colorado Rockies where he went 7-13 with an ERA of 6.32. He spent last season in AAA in the L.A. Angels organization. In Kendrick’s career facing the Brewers in 11 appearances, including eight starts, he is 3-5 with an ERA of 4.29.
</p>
<p>Chase Anderson gets the call for the Brewers and his last outing was not a good one only lasting four innings and giving up four earned runs, but the lineup bailed him out in a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers had lost his previous two starts where he went 12 innings and gave up four earned runs all of which came in one game. Anderson has taken a no decision in his last three starts. This will be his first career start against the Red Sox. Milwaukee has lost four of Anderson’s last five home starts and they have also lost four of his last five starts against a team with a winning record.
