Jackson Chourio and Jake Bauers homered and Quinn Priester allowed one run in six innings to pace the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.

Priester (4-2) allowed seven hits and no walks, striking out seven in a 96-pitch outing to win his third straight decision. Abner Uribe followed with two scoreless innings and Trevor Megill finished with a perfect ninth for his 13th save in 15 opportunities.

Chourio staked the Brewers to a 2-0 lead in the third with a two-run homer off starter Grant Holmes (3-5). Joey Ortiz singled to open the frame. After Brice Turang struck out, Chourio sent a 1-1 pitch 409 feet to center for his 11th homer.

The Braves got on the board in the fifth when Nick Allen doubled and Ronald Acuna Jr. followed with his third consecutive single.

Bauers answered an inning later with a 434-foot homer to center, his fifth, to make it 3-1.

The Brewers loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh against Aaron Bummer when Caleb Durbin was hit by a pitch, Ortiz singled and Turang walked. Jose Ruiz, claimed on waivers over the weekend from Philadelphia, relieved and struck out Chourio, but he walked William Contreras to make it 4-1.

Ruiz recovered to strand the bases loaded.

Holmes allowed three runs on five hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings, striking out nine.

Atlanta, which snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 7-1 victory in the series opener Monday, has lost 15 of its last 19 games.
