MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee's beleaguered bullpen blew another game, this time without the help of Eric Gagne.

Juan Pierre hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers overcame a three-run deficit to beat the Brewers 6-4 Wednesday night and stop a season-high, six-game losing streak.

Los Angeles had been 0-18 when trailing after eight innings. Milwaukee has lost 10 games in which it led at some point.

Milwaukee was ahead 4-3 in the ninth when Mota entered. He had gotten his first save of the season Monday as Gagne took a two-day "mental break" from closing.

Brewers manager Ned Yost had said before the game that Gagne, who has five blown saves, would be available for the ninth but Mota (1-2) entered.

He walked Delwyn Young with one out and allowed a single to Andre Ethier that put runners on the corners. Pierre drove a pitch deep to left-center to put Los Angeles ahead 5-4, stole third and scored on Andruw Jones' groundout. It was just the sixth RBI of the season for Jones, who is hitting .179.

Joe Beimel and Jonathan Broxton (2-1) combined on a perfect eighth for the Dodgers, and Takashi Saito threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save, ending Milwaukee's three-game winning streak.

Dodgers starter Derek Lowe allowed four runs and six hits in six innings, while Milwaukee's Manny Parra gave up three runs -- one earned -- and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings.

Parra's two-run single and Jason Kendall's RBI single built a 3-0 lead in the second. Blake DeWitt hit a solo homer for the Dodgers in the fifth, but Corey Hart's RBI single made it 4-1 in the sixth.

Los Angeles closed with a pair of unearned runs with two outs in the seventh. First baseman Prince Fielder bobbled pinch-hitter Mark Sweeney's grounder for a run-scoring error, and Pierre chased Parra with an RBI single, a ball to shallow left that Ryan Braun unsuccessfully tried to catch with a dive.
