Tommie Harris' wife dies
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Prince Fielder highlighted a five-run first inning with a three-run homer Friday, and Milwaukee held on to defeat Pittsburgh 8-6.
The Brewers snapped a three-game losing streak, but needed a big early lead and a 12-hit attack to do it.
Milwaukee got solo homers from Jason Bourgeois in the second and Ryan Braun in the fourth while building an 8-4 advantage through five innings.
The home run for Bourgeois was his first in the major leagues and came in his 13th game.
Manny Parra (9-10), who had lost his two previous decisions after winning five out of six, claimed the victory despite giving up six runs on 10 hits over six innings.
Trevor Hoffman picked up his 28th save by striking out the side in the ninth. He threw 21 pitches in the inning.
Zach Duke (10-12) lasted only three innings while absorbing the loss. He allowed seven runs on 11 hits.
