Milwaukee ? The Milwaukee Brewers had little trouble generating power against the pitching staff which has yielded the fewest home runs in the major leagues.

Eric Young and Wes Helms each homered in a five-run sixth inning, and Richie Sexson hit his 20th homer, as the Brewers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Florida Marlins Thursday.

“It was one we needed to have,” said Milwaukee manager Ned Yost, whose team went 2-4 on its homestand. “It was good for us to get out of here on a positive note.”

Young hit his ninth of the season and Helms hit his 11th, both establishing career highs. Sexson’s homer tied him with Cincinatti’s Adam Dunn for the National League lead.

“It’s great for Wes because he hasn’t played that much,” Yost said. “EY (Young) has played for a long time. It’s great to see that, too.”

All the homers came off Carl Pavano (5-7), who has allowed a team-high 10 homers this season. The Marlins have surrendered a major league-low 47 home runs in 67 games.

“It was bad pitches,” Pavano said. “I can handle losing, but when you go out there and beat yourself like I did, that’s when it hits home.”

Matt Kinney (5-4) pitched six innings, allowing three runs on seven hits. Kinney was trailing 3-1 when he was pinch-hit for but the Brewers scored five in the inning to make him a winner.

“The good thing is when your team comes back and scores five runs for you,” Kinney said. “That makes it a little bit easier to swallow.”
