MILWAUKEE, July 26 (UPI) -- Ryan Braun homered and drove in four runs Saturday to lead the Milwaukee Brewers' 6-4 win over Houston.

Braun hit sacrifice flies in the first and third innings, and then tied the game 4-4 with his 27th homer this season, a two-run shot with two outs in the bottom of the seventh.

Bill Hall's only hit, an RBI single in the eighth, knocked in the game-winning run and Jason Kendall had one RBI for the Brewers, who made the most of seven hits in the ninth win in their last 10 games.

Winner Eric Gagne (4-2) hurled a 1-2-3 eighth and Salomon Torres recorded his 20th save.

Houston's Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer in the fourth and Hunter Pence followed with a solo shot. Lance Berkman had two hits and one RBI.

Miguel Tejada had four hits, while Pence and Michael Bourn also had two hits for the Astros, losers in five of their last six games.

The losing pitcher was Doug Brocail (4-5).
