Fielder powers Brewers past Cardinals, 5-3

 
* Milwaukee 5, at St. Louis 3 (10 innings): Prince Fielder hit a two-run homer off Brad Thompson in the 10th inning that helped the Brewers avoid a three-game sweep. Fielder also tied the score with a double that capped a three-run eighth inning. The Brewers tied it when pinch-hitter Hernan Iribarren chased Kyle Lohse with an RBI double, Ryan Braun hit a sacrifice fly off Ryan Franklin and Fielder had an opposite-field double against Randy Flores on a ball that barely eluded Skip Schumaker's attempt for a diving catch.
