Milwaukee lost for the 12th time in 13 games.
Brad Penny (2-1) worked a season-high six innings, and the right-hander allowed two earned runs, four hits, three walks and struck out one batter.
Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 33rd save.
Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo (8-9) allowed five earned runs and nine hits in 3 2-3 innings.
