SAN DIEGO (AP) Yangervis Solarte drove in two runs, Travis Jankowski had three hits and two walks and the San Diego Padres beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-3 on Monday night.

The win snapped the Brewers' four-game winning streak. Solarte's second hit was the key blow during a five-run fifth.

Carlos Villanueva (2-2) pitched 2 2/3 innings in relief of starter Jarred Cosart, allowing two runs and two hits. Villanueva was the first of four Padres relievers.

Milwaukee's Jimmy Nelson (6-10) ran into trouble in the fifth when the Padres went ahead 6-2, exiting with four innings pitched and eight hits allowed. It was the second time San Diego beat Nelson this season, and overall he's lost seven of his last eight decisions.
