MILWAUKEE – Johnny Estrada had a career-high five hits and five RBIs to lead the Atlanta Braves to an 11-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night, but the win was overshadowed by an injury to Marcus Giles.

The second baseman broke his collarbone in a collision with center fielder Andruw Jones in the first inning while chasing a popup and will be sidelined six to eight weeks. The Braves said Giles, an All-Star last season, also suffered a mild concussion and a bruised right hand.

Adam LaRoche had four doubles – tying a major league record – and Estrada and Jones homered for the Braves, who improved to 17-18 with their second straight win over the Brewers.

Antonio Alfonseca (5-0) pitched 1 2-3 innings in relief of starter Russ Ortiz, who lasted only 1 1-3 innings. He walked seven and gave up four runs in Ortiz’s shortest outing since May 9, 2000, when he also lasted 1 1-3 innings vs. Cincinnati.

Brewers starter Matt Kinney (1-3) lasted just two innings, giving up five runs in the loss as Milwaukee fell back to .500 at 18-18.

The Braves scored first with five runs in the first inning. Giles scored on a wild pitch from Kinney, and LaRoche came home on a single by Estrada. Jones capped the inning with a three-run homer, his sixth of the season.

The Brewers got two runs back in the bottom of the first inning on a double by Wes Helms that drove in Craig Counsell and Geoff Jenkins.

On the play, Giles was racing back and Jones running in for Helms’ short fly. When they collided, the ball bounced away. Helms was credited with a double and two runs scored. Giles was replaced by Nick Green, who made his major league debut.

The Brewers scored two more runs in the second inning to cut the lead to 5-4. Jenkins hit a bases-loaded single, and the second run scored on a bases-loaded walk to Lyle Overbay.

Estrada’s second homer of the year in the third inning, and his RBI single in the fourth gave the Braves a 7-4 lead. Green’s first major league hit, a single in the fifth, increased the Braves’ lead to 8-4. On the play, Wilson Betemit scored his first major league run.

The Brewers cut the lead to 8-6 in the seventh on Overbay’s RBI double and an RBI single by Helms. Overbay’s double extended his hitting streak to 16 games, tying the Brewers’ NL club record.

LaRoche’s RBI double and Estrada’s two-run double in the eighth made it 11-6.

Notes: The last time a player hit four doubles in a game was July 27, 2003, by Giles. … Through the first 35 games this season, Braves manager Bobby Cox has used 30 different lineups.
