The Brewers were having trouble manufacturing runs against Padres starter Luis Perdomo, who stranded runners in scoring position in four of his first five innings, so they started hitting homers instead. Perez went deep leading off the sixth inning to tie the game at 1-1, and Pina followed two batters later with another solo shot over the Brewers bullpen in left-center field for the lead.
Milwaukee has scored its last 15 runs via the long ball, a franchise record. The previous club mark was 14 runs in a row, set by Prince Fielder & Co.
