Recap: Atlanta vs. Milwaukee
By Sports Network
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Prince Fielder homered twice as the Milwaukee Brewers earned a 4-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the second contest of a three-game set.
CC Sabathia (11-8) remained unbeaten with Milwaukee as he allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out nine in 8 1/3 innings. Salomon Torres yielded a hit and struck out a batter in getting the final two outs for his 21st save.
Fielder had a two-run homer and a solo blast while Jason Kendall hit an RBI double for the Brewers, who have countered a five-game losing streak with two consecutive victories to clinch the series.
Rookie Charlie Morton (2-5) gave up two runs on just four hits and a walk through seven innings with four strikeouts for Atlanta, which has lost two in a row and seven of its last eight.
Kelly Johnson was 2-for-4 with an RBI while Omar Infante and Gregor Blanco each had a run scored.
Fielder led off the seventh with his first homer of the night to tie the game and a Kendall two-out RBI double to score Corey Hart put Milwaukee on top 2-1. Hart reached on a bunt single after Fielder's blast.
With two outs and Rickie Weeks on first in the eighth, Fielder hit his 25th homer and second of the night to give Milwaukee a three-run cushion.
Johnson's infield single with two outs in the ninth scored Infante, who led off with a double, to make it 4-2. Torres, however, then got Clint Sammons to fly out.
Casey Kotchman's first RBI as an Atlanta Brave came on a two-out base hit in the first to score Blanco, who led off with a walk.
The Braves threatened again in the second when Johnson led off with a single before moving to second on a groundout and third on a sacrifice bunt. Blanco, however, grounded out to end the threat.
Both teams combined to retire 24 consecutive batters between Johnson's hit in the second and a Martin Prado leadoff single in the sixth. Sabathia retired the next three batters after Prado, though, to set Milwaukee up for a go-ahead seventh.
