Without Prince Fielder, the Milwaukee Brewers would have lost to the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.  Good think Fielder was in the lineup and hit a home run in the 10th innin as the Brewers beat the Cardinals 5-3 in ten innings. 

Fielder finished the game with three RBI.  Ryan Braun and Hernan Iribarren each had one RBI.

Brian Shouse picked up the win as he pitched in relief.  Eric Gagne made things interesting in the bottom of the tenth inning but was able to close the door the on the Cardinals and pick up his fourth save of the season.

Starting pitcher Manny Parra pitched four innings and gave up five hits and three earned runs.

Great comeback win for the Brewers as they improve their record to 9-6 on the season.

Manny Parra was throwing a no hitter through five innings, but in the sixth inning, that is when the Giants started to come back and made it a close ballgame.  Once the Giants made the score 3-2, Ryan Braun and Gabe Kapler both hit homeruns that extended the lead and the Brewers went onto to win the game by a score of a 5-4.

Mike Rivera also contributed with two RBI’s in the game.

Eric Gagne pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up his first save of the season.
