The Brewers weren't able to connect for a hit until the top of the sixth inning, when they rallied for a pair of runs, and in the seventh, Damian Miller and Geoff Jenkins both hit solo homers to stake the Brew Crew to a one-run lead that they wouldn't relinquish.
Humberto Cota went 3-for-5 and twice doubled to drive home runs with two out, and Oliver Perez held the Brewers hitless until he ran out of gas in the sixth. The bullpen couldn't keep the cork in Milwaukee, though, and lost the game on a pair of dingers.
a-Batted for Davis, D in the 6th. b-Walked for Branyan in the 6th. c-Struck out for Santana in the 9th.
