Prince Fielder's two-run single capped a four-run ninth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers stormed back to beat the Houston Astros 6-5 Friday night.
Trailing 5-2 heading into their last at-bat, the Brewers closed the gap to one on a Joe Inglett two-run homer off Astros closer Matt Lindstrom (2-2). Rickie Weeks followed with a single, and Corey Hart drew a walk. That brought up Fielder, who laced a single to right field that brought home both runners.
Kameron Loe (2-2) earned the victory despite allowing a run on two hits in the ninth inning. Lindstrom absorbed the loss, charged with four runs on three hits and a pair of walks while recording just one out.
The loss was Houston's second straight following a seven-game winning streak. It spoiled a strong outing from Wandy Rodriguez, who pitched into the seventh inning but missed out on a chance to earn his fourth straight victory.
The Astros took the lead in the third inning on a two-run double by Hunter Pence, who has driven in 10 runs over his last 10 games. Brett Wallace added a run-scoring double and Chris Johnson had an RBI single.
Milwaukee Brewers starter Dave Bush went six innings, allowing three runs on seven hits. He walked three and struck out five.
