MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers' offense kept churning Wednesday night with 13 hits in a 7-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Miller Park.

Keon Broxton was one of five Milwaukee batters to collect two hits, and he also scored two runs.

Jackie Bradley Jr.'s second home run of the season was the bright spot for a Boston lineup that stranded nine and went 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position.

Brewers starter Chase Anderson gave up nine hits and a walk but held the Red Sox to two runs while striking out four in 4 2/3 innings.

The Red Sox got 4 1/3 innings from Kyle Kendrick (1-1), who was charged with six runs, 10 hits and a walk (with two strikeouts) in his second start of the season.

Back-to-back RBI singles from Domingo Santana and Hernan Perez gave Anderson a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but Bradley led off the second with a home run and Mookie Betts drove in Christian Vazquez with a single in the fourth to tie the score at 2.

Rob Scahill (1-1) took over for Anderson with two on and two outs in the fifth. Eric Thames put Milwaukee back in front in the bottom of the inning with a ground-rule double to score Broxton.

Ryan Braun moved Thames to third with a base hit but gave way to pinch-runner Jonathan Villar because of tightness in his left calf. That left runners at the corners with nobody out for Travis Shaw, who chopped into a force at second that drove in Thames.

Santana kept the inning going with a single to left-center that chased Kendrick, but Heath Hembree couldn't stop the bleeding either.

Shaw stole third and scored on a throwing error by Vazquez. The error also moved Santana to third, and he came home when Perez singled to right.

Milwaukee added an insurance run in the sixth when Vazquez made a bad throw trying to prevent Thames from stealing second, allowing Broxton to score.

Boston plated a run in the eighth and ninth but couldn't close the gap.
