Prince Fielder homered and drove in four runs as the red-hot Milwaukee Brewers posted a 7-5 victory over the host Houston Astros on Saturday night.
Yuniesky Betancourt went 4-for-5 with an RBI and Jonathan Lucroy homered for the Brewers, who have won three straight and 10 of their last 11.
Fielder got Milwaukee off to a strong start in the first inning when he came up with two on against Brett Myers (3-12) and slammed a hanging breaking ball down the right-field line for his 25th home run of the season. Fielder’s blast hit high off the top of the foul pole.
The Brewers stretched it to 5-1 before the Astros stormed back, drawing to within one when J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the third.
But Chris Narveson (8-6) settled down to work 5 1/3 innings for the win and Fielder provded some insurance with an RBI double in the sixth.
The Milwaukee bullpen dominated the final innings, as Takashi Saito, LaTroy Hawkins, Francisco Rodriguez combined for 2 2/3 hitless innings.
John Axford allowed a solo homer in the ninth, but earned his 32nd save of the season.
