MILWAUKEE (AP) — Freddy Peralta pitched six strong innings, Jackie Bradley Jr. homered and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the scuffling Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 on Friday night.

The Brewers have taken the first two games of the four-game series, while the Dodgers have lost nine of 12 since opening the season with 13 wins in 15 games.

A.J. Pollock’s leadoff homer in the fifth was the Dodgers’ only hit off Peralta (3-0), who started against LA for the first time. Peralta hit a batter and issued a walk in the first but then retired 10 straight before Pollock went deep.

Peralta then set down six more batters in a row. He struck out seven.

Brad Boxberger, J.P. Feyereisen and Josh Hader completed the two-hitter. Hader struck out the side in the ninth for his seventh save in as many chances.

Bradley belted a two-run homer, the 100th of his career, with one out in the second off Edwin Uceta (0-1), who was making his major league debut.

The Brewers had four hits in the second inning. The Dodgers then retired 12 straight Milwaukee batters until Omar Narváez’s two-out single in the sixth.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was ejected in the eighth inning by first-base umpire Angel Hernandez after Hernandez called a strike on an appeal play with Chris Taylor at the plate.

Luke Maile had an RBI groundout in the ninth.

The 23-year-old Uceta, who was recalled from the Dodgers’ alternate training site on Thursday, pitched two innings, allowing four hits and two runs.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Dodgers: RHP Joe Kelly revealed Friday that he had surgery on his right shoulder in November related to a cyst on a nerve. “We were aware. He just wanted to keep it quiet,” Roberts said. “It’s not something we were trying to conceal. It was about respecting Joe’s wishes.” Roberts said Kelly is progressing and could return to the team in early May. …

Brewers: Milwaukee has 14 players on the injured list. “I think during the road trip you’ll see several come off,” manager Craig Counsell said. The Brewers embark on a seven-game trip to Philadelphia and Miami beginning Monday. … Narváez left the game with left hamstring tightness.

UP NEXT

Dodgers: Dustin May (1-1, 2.53 ERA) struck out career-high 10 batters and gave up two hits over six innings in his last start on Sunday.

Brewers: Brandon Woodruff (2-0, 1.55) is 0-0 with a 9.39 ERA in two career games (one start) against the Dodgers. Opponents are batting .134 (13-for-97, 0 home runs) against Woodruff this season.

YANKEES 10, TIGERS 0

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge homered twice, including a grand slam, Gerrit Cole struck out 12 and the New York Yankees routed the Detroit Tigers 10-0.

The frequently injured Judge was held out of New York’s starting lineup in its previous two games with what the Yankees described as lower body soreness.

Clint Frazier, Aaron Hicks and Rougned Odor also homered, and Giancarlo Stanton had three hits. The Yankees set highs for runs, hits (15) and homers (five).

Cole (4-1) allowed four hits and no walks during six innings, and New York pitchers had 18 strikeouts to tie a franchise record for a nine-inning game.

Tarik Skubal (0-4) allowed four runs in three innings.

REDS 8, CUBS 6

CHICAGO (AP) — Joey Votto hit his 300th home run and doubled twice.

Votto got a curtain call from Cincinnati fans and drove in three runs, Nick Senzel lined a two-run homer and Eugenio Suarez added a solo shot. The Reds won for the third time in four games after losing seven in a row.

Wade Miley needed 65 pitches to get through the first three innings, but regrouped to finish five with 99. Miley (3-2) allowed two runs, one on Kris Bryant’s seventh homer.

Jake Arrieta (3-3) allowed three homers and seven runs in fewer than two innings.
