MILWAUKEE – Prince Fielder hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning and also had an RBI single to power the Milwaukee Brewers past the Florida Marlins 4-3 on Saturday night.
Fielder’s fourth home run of the season, a mammoth shot to dead center off reliever Renyel Pinto, broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the eighth. Pinto had not allowed a run in his previous 11 appearances.
It was Fielder’s second game-winning home run in four days. He also homered twice against Philadelphia on Wednesday, with the game-winning blast coming in the eighth inning of a 5-4 victory.
