MILWAUKEE, May 13 (UPI) -- Prince Fielder hit a pair of two-run homers Tuesday to lead the Milwaukee Brewers past the Florida Marlins 6-3.

Fielder went 3-for-4 in the game, and Rickie Weeks and Mike Cameron added home runs to help the host Brewers win for the seventh time in their last nine games.

Manny Parra (2-4) earned the win, allowing three runs on six hits with eight strikeouts over six innings. Trevor Hoffman picked up his sixth save.

John Koronka (0-1) took the loss in an inauspicious debut with the Marlins. The left-hander lasted 4 2/3 innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks.

Florida scored a run in the first and two in the second to grab an early 3-0 lead. Emilio Bonifacio scored in the first on Dan Uggla's two-out single. He then drove in a run in the second with a single and scored on Jeremy Hermida's RBI single.

The rest of the game belonged to the Brewers.

Fielder's first two-run homer cut the Florida lead to 3-2 in the fourth. After Weeks tied the game in the fifth with his solo home run, Fielder blasted his second homer of the night into the second deck in right field to make it 5-3.

Cameron homered in the eighth to close out the scoring while Carlos Villanueva, Mark DiFelice and Hoffman set the Marlins down in order in the final three innings.
