MILWAUKEE, May 1 (UPI) -- A bases-loaded walk by Prince Fielder gave Milwaukee the lead in the seventh inning Thursday and the Brewers went on to down Arizona 4-1.

Milwaukee scored all of its runs in the seventh, overcoming a 1-0 deficit to win its fourth in a row.

Tom Gordon (0-1), the first pitcher out of the Arizona bullpen, walked Bill Hall to open the seventh. Hall moved up on a wild pitch, went to third on Jason Kendall's single and was thrown out trying to score on Craig Counsell's grounder to first.

Kendall and Counsell then advanced on another wild pitch, after which a single by Rickie Weeks scored Kendall with the tying run. Corey Hart next drew a walk, bringing in Juan Gutierrez to relieve Gordon.

Gutierrez recorded a strikeout and was relieved by Scott Schoeneweis, who immediately walked Fielder to force in the go-ahead tally. A double by Mike Cameron, his third hit of the game, drove in the final two runs of the inning.

Mark DiFelice (2-0) threw just seven pitches and retired two batters in the seventh to get the win. Trevor Hoffman earned his second save.

The Arizona run came on a homer by Felipe Lopez in the first.
