MILWAUKEE – Given a chance to move 10 games over .500 for the first time in 15 years, the Milwaukee Brewers fell short.

Jose Bautista and Ronny Paulino hit consecutive home runs in a four-run seventh inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied for a 4-2 victory that stopped the Brewers’ four-game winning streak.

Milwaukee (18-10), which leads that NL Central, has not been 10 games over .500 since finishing the 1992 season 92-70. That also was the last time the Brewers finished with a winning record.

Tom Gorzelanny (4-1) won his fourth straight start, giving up two runs and six hits in seven innings. Salomon Torres pitched the ninth for his ninth save in 12 chances. Pittsburgh (13-14) had lost four of its previous five games following an 11-10 start.

Dave Bush (2-3) gave up four runs and six hits in seven innings, allowing just one runner past second base in the first six innings.

With Pittsburgh trailing 2-0 in the seventh, Freddy Sanchez and Jason Bay opened with consecutive doubles. Bautista hit a go-ahead, two-run homer with two outs and Paulino took a ball, then homered for a two-run lead.

Bush helped himself with a one-out double in the third, his third hit and second double in 11 at-bats this season, and scored on Prince Fielder’s two-out single. J.J. Hardy, who had walked and went to third on Fielder’s single, was caught trying to steal home on the next pitch, ending the inning.

Milwaukee made it 2-0 in the sixth when Hardy extending his career-best hitting streak to 14 games with a leadoff double and scored on Gorzelanny’s wild pitch.

Wasdin was 1-1 with a 6.92 ERA in nine games this season. In four starts with Indianapolis, McLeary was 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA. … Brewers LHP Chris Capuano, who left Wednesday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals after the third inning with a bruised right calf, should take his next turn Monday against Washington, manager Ned Yost said. … Entering play, Bay was 12-for-22 with four homers in his last six games at Miller Park.
