With his easygoing demeanor and smooth swing, Manny Machado made quite a first impression on the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Mannywood 2.0 is off to a successful start.

Machado singled twice and walked twice in his debut with the Dodgers, who used a tiebreaking RBI single by Chris Taylor to beat the sliding Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 on Friday night.

�It was awesome,� Machado said. �It was amazing to go out there and put on the uniform, come out with a W today on the first day. Just happy to be here with these guys. It�s a great group here, great team.�

Machado was acquired in a blockbuster trade with Baltimore on Wednesday. The Brewers also were in the mix for the All-Star shortstop, but the Dodgers reeled him in with a package of five prospects.

The July deal � and Machado�s impressive debut � brought back memories of Los Angeles� 2008 trade for Manny Ramirez Vontae Davis Jersey , who helped power the Dodgers to the NL Championship Series.

�He�s our new Mannywood, 2.0 I guess,� a smiling Kenley Jansen said after working the ninth for his 28th save.

NL West-leading Los Angeles was held in check by Wade Miley before going ahead to stay in the seventh. Moments after Yasmani Grandal was cut down at the plate on a nice pickup by catcher Manny Pina, Taylor singled in Chase Utley to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead. Machado�s second hit then set up Max Muncy�s run-scoring double off Taylor Williams (0-3).

Enrique Hernandez added a three-run homer in the ninth as Los Angeles earned its fifth win in six games. Rich Hill (3-4) struck out nine while pitching six innings of five-hit ball.

�I love pitching here,� Hill said. �The mound is great. It�s just a great backdrop.�

Milwaukee returned from the break to an emotional apology from reliever Josh Hader for years-old racist and homophobic tweets that surfaced during the All-Star Game. Miley tossed six effective innings in his 200th career start and Jesus Aguilar hit his NL-best 25th homer in the eighth, but the Brewers dropped their seventh straight game.

Christian Yelich hit a two-run triple in the ninth, but Jansen struck out Aguilar for the final out.

�The bottom line is we�re not scoring enough runs,� manager Craig Counsell said. �We�re playing often behind through this stretch.�

With his teammates standing behind him during a news conference, the 24-year-old Hader said the tweets � which included a slur used to disparage African-Americans � �were never my beliefs. I was young. I was saying stuff out of just ignorance and that�s just not what I meant.�

Hader is going to participate in diversity and inclusion initiatives in addition to sensitivity training, according to Major League Baseball. The hard-throwing lefty did not get into the game against Los Angeles.

�It�s obviously a different day, a unique day, but I wouldn�t say draining http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/josh-jackson-jersey ,� Yelich said. �I think once the game started, everybody got back to just playing baseball and focusing on what we needed to do. I don�t think any of the other stuff really had any impact.�

Machado grounded a single into right field in his first at-bat. He also walked in the third and fifth, and flied out to right in the ninth.

Machado�s walk in the third helped load the bases with one out, and Taylor scampered home on a passed ball for Pina. But Matt Kemp then bounced into an unusual 1-3-4 double play, with Aguilar catching Muncy trying to scramble back to the bag at second.

Milwaukee also hurt itself on the bases. Keon Broxton was caught off second on Miley�s base hit in the fifth, and Miley was thrown out at home when he tried to score from first on Yelich�s tying RBI double.

DOWN ON THE FARM

Los Angeles optioned outfielder Andrew Toles to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room for Machado on the roster. Right-hander Walker Buehler was slated to throw a five-inning simulated game with the Dodgers� top minor league affiliate, according to Roberts. Buehler could rejoin the major league club next week.

TRAINER�S ROOM

Dodgers: INF Justin Turner was held out with an adductor injury. �I would say a little bit more on the hope that he can start tomorrow,� Roberts said. �Expectation is a little bit, just a little bit under that.�

Brewers: Pina was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list. He had been sidelined by a left biceps strain. � OF Ryan Braun (back strain) is expected to come off the DL on Saturday.

UP NEXT

Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (3-4, 2.74 ERA) and Brewers right-hander Chase Anderson (6-7, 3.78 ERA) get the ball on Saturday. Kershaw is 5-4 with a 2.95 ERA in 12 career starts against Milwaukee. Anderson is winless in three July starts with a 1.65 ERA.
