Milwaukee ? Milton Bradley credits manager Jim Tracy with making all the right moves as the Los Angeles Dodgers keep on winning.

Odalis Perez didn’t allow a hit until Junior Spivey doubled in the seventh inning, and Bradley hit home runs from both sides of the plate to lead the Dodgers over the Milwaukee Brewers 7-3 on Monday night.

“Tracy, he just puts people in position to be successful,” said Bradley, who was moved up from his usual fifth spot in the batting order to third. “Tracy knows how we’re going to do it. He figures that out.”

Los Angeles, which received consecutive homers from Bradley and Jason Repko, won its sixth straight and at 10-2 is off to its best 12-game start since 1981, when the Dodgers went on to win the Series.

Perez (3-0) walked Spivey with one out in the first, then got Lyle Overbay to ground into an inning-ending double play. Perez retired his next 15 batters before walking Brady Clark leading off the seventh, by which time Los Angeles led 4-0. Spivey worked the count to 3-2 before hitting an RBI double to deep center.

Perez struck out Overbay, and Duaner Sanchez relieved.

Damian Miller walked with two outs, Chris Magruder hit another RBI double, and Miller scored when Repko misplayed the ball in right for an error.

Tracy said Perez was tiring, but attributed the fatigue to the left-hander’s shortened spring training. He made just two starts as he was recovering from a strained left biceps he injured while lifting weights early in camp.

“Before we take a performance like that and mar it by allowing him to face one too many hitters, I felt it was very right to leave him to face Overbay,” Tracy said. “But then beyond that, I don’t sleep real good if I knew that I left him one hitter too long.”

Perez allowed two runs and the one hit in six-plus innings with three strikeouts and two walks.

“He kept us off balance,” Brewers manager Ned Yost said. “We would look for it away and he would throw it inside.”

Giovanni Carrara, Kelly Wunsch and Yhency Brazoban completed the three-hitter.

Bradley, batting left-handed, hit a three-run homer in the ninth off Ricky Bottalico.

“Milton has assumed the responsibility of leadership and with that comes complete consistency with his behavior,” Tracy said.
