The Milwaukee Brewers are back above .500, after beating Arizona 4-3 Sunday at Miller Park.

The Brewers gave Dave Bush a 3-0 lead before he gave up solo home runs in the seventh inning to Mark Reynolds, Justin Upton and Miguel Montero.

Chris Duffy broke the tie in the eighth. His ground-out to second scored J. Hardy with the winning run.

Trevor Hoffman then pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

Mitch Stetter got the win in relief, throwing a perfect eighth to go 1-0.

Prince Fielder and Mike Cameron homered for the Brewers who ended a two-game losing streak and split their four-game set with the Diamondbacks.

Arizona reliever Tom Gordon left in the sixth, after he injured his leg while covering the plate on a wild pitch.

Juan Gutierrez took the loss. He's now 1-2.

The Diamondbacks lost only their second game in their last five and they blew a chance to win their first series in Milwaukee since 2003.

The Brewers improved to 13-12, and they closed out their seven-game home stand at 5-2.

The Brew Crew will open a short two-game set in Pittsburgh tonight.

Right-hander Yovani Gallardo faces Pirates right-hander Paul Maholm.
