Miller's gapper lifts Brewers
Miller, who had been caught trying to score from third on a comebacker to the mound an inning earlier, sent a full-count pitch to the gap in left-center to break a 2-2 tie.
Matt Wise (3-2) picked up the win with one hitless inning of relief and Derrick Turnbow pitched a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 20 chances.
Brewers All-Star slugger Carlos Lee struck out four times, stranding six runners on base, half of them in the seventh when Majewski (2-1) struck him out for the third out.
Preston Wilson hit his first homer for the Nationals, a solo shot in the second that gave Washington a 1-0 lead. He was acquired Wednesday from Colorado, where he led the Rockies with 15 homers and 45 RBIs.
CUBS 5, PIRATES 1: At Chicago, Mark Prior allowed two hits in eight strong innings and helped himself with two singles as Chicago won its fourth straight.
Prior (6-3) gave up a single to Matt Lawton in the second and a leadoff single to pinch-hitter Tike Redman in the eighth. He walked three and struck out 10 while running his career record against the Pirates to 6-0.
Ex-Buzz player Todd Walker homered for the Cubs and Henry Blanco had two doubles off Mark Redman (4-9), who lost his fifth straight start.
PHILLIES 13, MARLINS 7: At Philadelphia, Mike Lieberthal and Pat Burrell each hit two homers to lead the Phillies.
Brett Myers (7-5) was bailed out by the long ball after staking Florida to a 3-0 lead. Burrell's 18th homer of the year, a two-run shot to center in the third, made it 3-2. Ryan Howard homered on the next pitch from A.J. Burnett (5-6) and Lieberthal followed two batters later with a solo homer for a 4-3 lead.
The Marlins tied it in the third on Miguel Cabrera's 18th homer, but they wouldn't score again off Myers.
Burrell added a three-run homer in the eighth to make it 13-5 and match his career high with five RBIs.
METS 6, BRAVES 3: At New York, Mike Piazza hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the eighth inning and David Wright connected twice to lead New York.
Carlos Beltran matched a career high with four hits as the Mets beat the Braves for just the third time in 10 meetings.
With the score tied at 3, Beltran hit a one-out double in the eighth off reliever Jim Brower (3-2). John Foster walked Cliff Floyd on four pitches. Braves manager Bobby Cox then brought in Blaine Boyer to face Piazza, who hit an 0-2 pitch over the right-field wall for his 10th homer.
Roberto Hernandez (5-2) earned the win one scoreless inning of relief and Braden Looper pitched a perfect ninth for his 21st save.
