Lind Homers, Doubles In Brewers' 6-3 Win Over Dodgers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Adam Lind homered and doubled and the Milwaukee Brewers scored five runs in the first inning off Joe Wieland in a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.
Wily Peralta (1-4) pitched eight solid innings to win for the first time in six starts after earning 17 victories last season.
Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth inning for his sixth save in as many chances. Milwaukee has won four of five, but still has the worst record in the majors at 9-19.
Wieland (0-1), recalled from the minor leagues earlier Wednesday, allowed two-run homers to Scooter Gennett and Lind in the first inning, and an RBI single to Martin Maldonado as Milwaukee took a 5-0 lead. It was Gennett's first home run of the season in just his second game after returning from the disabled list while recovering from a cut on his hand.
Joc Pederson hit two home runs for the Dodgers. Each of his last seven hits have been home runs and he has nine for the season.
Peralta allowed three runs, two earned, seven hits and six strikeouts in eight innings. His four-game losing streak to start the season matches his career high for consecutive losses.
Obtained from San Diego in an offseason trade that sent Matt Kemp to the Padres, Wieland allowed six runs, six hits and four walks with two strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.
Adrian Gonzalez went 3-for-4 and is 4-for-6 with five walks, a home run, a double and was hit by a pitch in the first three games of the series.
