MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Ryan Braun hit a pair of solo home runs, Jeff Suppan pitched seven solid innings and the Milwaukee Brewers' new closer-by-committee held on for a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.

With Eric Gagne out as the closer, the Brewers turned to Salomon Torres and Brian Shouse in the ninth. Torres recorded the first two outs, but allowed two baserunners. Then Shouse, a left-handed specialist, gave up an RBI single to Yadier Molina before recording the final out.

It was Shouse's first save this season and fifth of his career.
