Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Prince Fielder homered in back-to-back innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers in a 7-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the rubber match-up of a three-game set.
Milwaukee's Manny Parra (7-2) went five innings allowing three runs on five hits and six walks while striking out one batter. Salomon Torres got the final two outs of the game on a ground-ball double play to earn his 12th save.
Fielder was 3-for-4 while Corey Hart and Bill Hall also homered for the Brewers, who have won two games in a row and six of their last seven.
"It's no secret that we hit home runs, it was just a matter of time before we started hitting them in big numbers," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "I didn't know how Manny was going to get through two innings let alone five."
Garrett Olson (5-3) yielded four runs in five innings on four hits and a walk while striking out two for Baltimore, which has lost two in a row after winning four consecutive games.
"They got their runs on one swing of the bat multiple times. That was a key to the game," Orioles manager Dave Trembley said.
Nick Markakis doubled, walked four times and scored twice, while Kevin Millar had a double and two RBI for Baltimore.
Hall's 10th home run of the season opened the bottom of the fifth and erased a one-run deficit. The Brewers pulled ahead when J.J. Hardy singled to score Gabe Kapler, who was hit by a pitch with no outs and moved to second on Ricky Weeks' two-out walk.
Fielder greeted Ryan Bukvich, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk before the game, with a home run to give Milwaukee a two-run lead in the sixth.
Fielder gave the Brewers a 7-3 lead with his 16th homer of the season an inning later. Hardy, who led off the inning with a ground-rule double, also scored on the blast.
For the second time in three days, the Orioles opened up a two-run, first inning lead on the Brewers. Brian Roberts and Markakis led off with back-to- back doubles to score a run. Markakis moved to third on a Melvin Mora groundout and scored on a Millar groundout.
Hart tied the game with his 12th homer of the season in the second, also scoring Fielder, who hit a leadoff double. Hart has homered in back-to-back games.
Baltimore reclaimed the lead in the fifth when Markakis scored on a Millar one-out RBI double after walking to lead off the inning.
