Suppan, Fielder help Brewers edge Reds

<h3>MILWAUKEE 5, CINCINNATI 3</h3>MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers turned to JeffSuppan and Prince Fielder to keep their playoff hopes strong.

Suppan pitched 6 1/3 effective innings and Fielder broke theclub record with his 46th homer as the Brewers posted a 5-3victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.


Rookie Ryan Braun, Geoff Jenkins and Damian Miller also drove inruns for Milwaukee (75-72), which cut its deficit to 1 1/2games behind the National League Central leading Chicago Cubs(77-71). Chicago won the first game of a doubleheader vs. theSt. Louis Cardinals this afternoon.


Suppan (10-11) allowed three runs, seven hits and two walks toearn just his second win since June 22. The righthander was 0-4in 12 starts before earning a win on September 2 vs. thePittsburgh Pirates.


Suppan allowed only a run-scoring single to Joey Votto in thesecond and an RBI double to Norris Hopper in the seventh beforebeing replaced by Brian Shouse later in the inning.

After Shouse retired one batter, Scott Linebrink gave up arun-scoring single to Brandon Phillips to cut Cincinnati'sdeficit to 4-3. However, Ray King entered and struck out AdamDunn with a runner on to end the threat.


Derrick Turnbow recorded two outs in the eighth before beingreplaced by Francisco Cordero with runners on first and second.Cordero struck out Hopper to end the frame before striking outtwo of the three batters he faced in the ninth to earn his 42ndsave of the season.


The Brewers were leading 2-1 in the bottom of third when Fielderled off by belting a 1-2 pitch from Reds starter Kirk Saarloosover the right field wall for a new club record. The blastbreaks the club's all-time record which he shared with RichieSexson (2001, 2003) and Gorman Thomas in 1979.


Milwaukee scored the first two runs of the game on an RBIgroundout by Braun followed by a run-scoring single by Jenkinslater in the first to give the Brewers a 2-0 lead.

Miller added an RBI single in the fifth to increase Milwaukee'slead to 4-1 and J.J. Hardy homered in the eighth.
