Closer Matt Capps earned his 22nd save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Milwaukee's run scored on Ryan Braun's sixth-inning single. Mike Cameron and Alcides Escobar had two hits each for the Brewers, who had won three in a row before coming to Pittsburgh.

Losing pitcher Yovani Gallardo (11-10) yielded three runs and four hits in six innings with three walks and six strikeouts.
