ATLANTA (AP) - Freddy Peralta allowed only one run in five innings, Andrew Vaughn singled in two runs in Milwaukee’s four-run fourth and the Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 7-2 on Tuesday night.
Milwaukee (69-44) extended its winning streak to five games to improve Major League Baseball’s best record. The NL Central-leading Brewers began the day three games ahead of the second-place Chicago Cubs.
Peralta (13-5) allowed only four hits in his return to Atlanta, where he participated in All-Star Game festivities last month.
Isaac Collins, who hit a three-run homer in Milwaukee’s 3-1 win in Monday night’s series opener, drove in two runs with two hits.
