Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
MILWAUKEE, May 30 (UPI) -- Home runs by Mike Cameron, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder Friday carried the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-1 decision over Houston.
Manny Parra (3-2) benefited from the long-ball attack to get the win, giving up a run on four hits over six innings. He struck out six.
Both Cameron and Braun hit solo shots in the first inning and Fielder contributed a two-run blast in the fifth for the game's final runs.
Braun had four hits in a game for the third time in his career and drove in the only Milwaukee run that did not come on a homer when he singled in Rickie Weeks in the third.
Brandon Backe (4-6) took the loss, surrendering all of Milwaukee's runs on six hits in five innings.
The Astros lost their third straight while Milwaukee has won four of five.
