Fielder, Braun homer as Brewers rout Wainwright, Cards

<h3>MILWAUKEE 12, ST. LOUIS 5</h3>MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers won't be going downwithout a last word.


In a game that featured three Milwaukee ejections, the Brewersdid plenty of talking with their bats as well in a 12-5 victoryover the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.


With the win, the Brewers (80-76) moved within three games ofthe idle Chicago Cubs (83-73), whose magic number remained atfour for clinching the National League Central with six gamesremaining.


<div class="pre">Prince Fielder's majestic 458-foot home run tied for the sixth</div>- longest in Miller Park history - brought home three runs andgave the Brewers a 4-0 lead in the first inning againstCardinals starter Adam Wainwright (13-12).


Fielder finished a triple shy of the cycle and Ryan Braun addeda two-run homer in the sixth as part of a three-run rally. Braunfinished with three RBI and three runs scored and Ricky Weekswas on base five times and scored three runs.


Milwaukee catcher Damian Miller's bases-clearing double was thecrown jewel of a five-run rally one frame earlier.

Miller was one of three ejections handed out by home plateumpire Phil Cuzzi, who tossed hitting coach Jim Skaalen and theBrewers catcher after a called third strike in the sixth.

Manager Ned Yost was later ejected for the second consecutivegame after Cuzzi ruled Rick Ankiel safe at home plate on a closeplay in the seventh.


Ankiel scored on Ryan Ludwick's two-run single, part of athree-run seventh that chased Milwaukee starter Dave Bush<div class="pre">(14-11), who allowed five runs three earned on nine hits in</div>6 2/3 frames.


Wainwright was victimized by porous defense, with three St.Louis errors leading to five unearned runs. The righthanderallowed four earned runs on eight hits in five innings withseven strikeouts.


Gary Bennett, who figures to see increased playing time withword that knee surgery had ended starting backstop YadierMolina's season, hit a two-run home run against Bush in thefourth.

Miller was one of three ejections handed out by home plateumpire Phil Cuzzi, who tossed hitting coach Jim Skaalen and theBrewers catcher after a called third strike in the sixth.

Manager Ned Yost was later ejected for the second consecutivegame after Cuzzi ruled Rick Ankiel safe at home plate on a closeplay in the seventh.


Ankiel scored on Ryan Ludwick's two-run single, part of athree-run seventh that chased Milwaukee starter Dave Bush<div class="pre">(14-11), who allowed five runs three earned on nine hits in</div>6 2/3 frames.


Wainwright was victimized by porous defense, with three St.Louis errors leading to five unearned runs. The righthanderallowed four earned runs on eight hits in five innings withseven strikeouts.


Gary Bennett, who figures to see increased playing time withword that knee surgery had ended starting backstop YadierMolina's season, hit a two-run home run against Bush in thefourth.
