 Pinch-hitter Andre Ethier's two-run single in the seventh tied the
score at 2 before Pederson followed with his game-winner as the
Dodgers (50-38) won their third in a row.
Reliever Chin-hui Tsao (1-0) earned his first major league win in
eight years. Tsao gave up two hits in an inning. Closer Kenley
Jansen pitched a 1-2-3 ninth and recorded his 15th save in 16
chances.
Milwaukee's Jimmy Nelson (6-9) suffered a tough loss, allowing three
runs (none earned) on five hits with six strikeouts and two walks in
seven innings.
Nelson no-hit the Dodgers until the sixth, when Pederson and second
baseman Howie Kendrick reached on base hits with one out in the
sixth inning.
However, the Dodgers didn't score until the seventh. An error by
third baseman Hernan Perez, who replaced Aramis Ramirez before the
start of the inning, allowed left fielder Alex Guerrero to reach
with two outs. After a single and stolen base by shortstop Jimmy
Rollins, Ethier delivered a two-run single to knot the score.
Pederson's RBI double scored Ethier to cap the scoring.
Dodgers starter Mike Bolsinger gave up two runs on four hits with
six strikeouts and a walk in six innings, but did not figure into
the decision.
Milwaukee (37-51) had a seven-game road winning streak end.
Both of Milwaukee's runs were scored in the fifth inning.
Brewers shortstop Jean Segura and second baseman Scooter Gennett led
off that inning with singles. They advanced to second and third on a
wild pitch by Bolsinger.

Left fielder Gerardo Para's groundout drove in Segura before
Bolsinger uncorked another wild pitch to plate Gennett for 2-0
advantage.
Those were the first runs allowed by the Dodgers in the past 24
innings. They blanked the Philadelphia Phillies in back-to-back
contests Wednesday and Thursday. Los Angeles hadn't been scored upon
since Tuesday, when Phillies outfielder Jeff Francoeur hit a solo
home run in the seventh inning.
