After Jeff Suppan surrendered a leadoff home run in the first inning to Felipe Lopez, the Milwaukee Brewers right hander was almost perfect the rest of the way as the Brewers came from behind to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 at Miller Park, extending their winning streak to 4-games. 

Mike Cameron delivered the big blow, a bases-loaded ground rule double in the 7th, as the Brewers scored all four of their runs in that inning. 

Suppan didn't get the win, but he did pitch 6 1/3 innings before giving way to the bullpen.  He didn't walk anybody and had Arizona off balance much of the night.  Mark DiFelice picked up the win to improve to 2-0.  Trevor Hoffman registered his 2nd save in as many chances.

The Brewers have won 8 of their last 9 to improve to 12-10.  That's good for second place in the NL Central, 3 1/2 games behind the front running Cardinals.
