Andrew Vaughn and Blake Perkins hit home runs to support the solid effort of starter Jose Quintana and help the visiting Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep.

The Brewers, who own the best record in the major leagues (70-44), have won six in a row overall and 12 of their past 13 road games. They capped a 6-0 road trip by sweeping a set in Atlanta for the second straight season.

The Braves have lost 11 of its past 14 and dropped to a season-worst 19 games below .500.

The Brewers recorded 14 hits as Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo homer while Perkins finished 3-for-5 with a two-run shot. Isaac Collins went 3-for-4 and hit .500 (10-for-20) on the road trip.

Quintana (9-4) pitched six innings and allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks. He registered a season-high seven strikeouts.

Jared Koenig and Abner Uribe each followed with a scoreless inning. Milwaukee closer Trevor Megill surrendered a two-out homer to Michael Harris II in the ninth before fanning pinch hitter Drake Baldwin to earn his 26th save.

Atlanta starter Spencer Strider (5-9) worked only 4 2/3 innings — his shortest start since May 27 — and allowed five runs on 11 hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

The Braves strung together three consecutive hits in the first inning, including an RBI single from Sean Murphy.

The Brewers tied the game in the second with back-to-back two-out doubles by Perkins and Brice Turang. Milwaukee took the lead in the fourth on Vaughn’s solo homer, his 12th, which extended his hitting streak to 12 games — the longest active run in the majors.

Milwaukee upped the lead to 5-1 in the fifth on Vaughn’s RBI grounder and a two-run homer from Perkins, his third, that knocked Strider out of the game.

The Braves got a run back in the fifth on Eli White’s RBI grounder, and Atlanta’s Jurickson Profar socked a solo homer in the sixth, his fifth.
