MILWAUKEE, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Three-run homers by Mike Cameron in the first and Prince Fielder in the fifth Friday boosted Milwaukee to an 8-4 victory over Philadelphia.
Philadelphia's lead over Atlanta in the National League East was reduced to six games with nine to play. Any combination of four Philadelphia wins or Atlanta losses will give the division crown to the Phillies for the third straight season.
After winning the NL East title last year, Philadelphia went on to win the World Series for just the second time in franchise history.
Fielder drove in four runs overall and scored twice.
Manny Parra (11-10) went seven innings to get the win, allowing two runs on four hits. He left the game with an 8-2 lead. After the first two Philadelphia batters singled off Claudio Vargas in the ninth, Trevor Hoffman came on to collect his 36th save.
Cliff Lee (7-3) suffered the loss after giving up seven runs on nine hits in six innings. Philadelphia has dropped three of four.
