Fielder homers as Brewers beat Marlins 5-3
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Prince Fielder hit a go-ahead home run and Dave Bush turned in another strong start as the Milwaukee Brewers completed a three-game sweep of the Florida Marlins with a 5-3 victory Thursday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched the ninth for his eighth save, and has yet to give up a run in nine innings this season. The Brewers have won nine of 11 and begin a nine-game road trip at St. Louis on Friday night.
It was the fourth straight loss for the Marlins and a short afternoon for Josh Johnson, who walked five in only four innings.
With the score tied at 3 in the fifth, Fielder clubbed a 2-2 pitch from reliever Burke Badenhop (2-2) just over the wall in left-center field. It was Fielder’s eighth homer of the season and his third in the last three games after hitting a pair Tuesday night against Florida.

What a bum Trevor Hoffman is. He is 41 years old and still hasn't learned how to save a game.
JUST KIDDING!!! What a great addition to the Brewers. He is still an amazing pitcher.
