The Milwaukee Brewers jumped all over the Los Angeles Dodgers, scoring five times in the bottom of the first on their way to a 6-3 victory Wednesday night at Miller Park. Adam Lind and Scooter Gennett each tagged two run homers off L.A. starter Joe Wieland, just called up from the minors. Jean Segura and Martin Maldanado also drove in runs for the Brewers. Staked to the early lead, Wily Peralta pitched a strong eight innings, giving up a pair of runs with six strikeouts to earn his first win of the year against four defeats. Francisco Rodriguez worked the ninth for his sixth save of the season. Milwaukee is 9-19 on the season, 2-1 under new manager Craig Counsell who replaced the fired Ron Roenicke on Monday. Mike Fiers will pitch the series finale against Los Angeles Thursday afternoon. Pre-Game coverage begins at 12:05 PM on WTAQ.
