MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ryan Braun homered, doubled and drove in three runs, leading Jeff Suppan and the Milwaukee Brewers past the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-3 Saturday night for their third straight victory.

The NL wild-card leaders moved to 20 games over .500 for the first time since finishing the 1992 season in the AL East.

Suppan (9-7) pitched seven innings and earned his fourth win in a row.
