MILWAUKEE—Prince Fielder hit two home runs, Corey Hart and Bill Hall also went deep and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 on Sunday for their sixth win in seven games.

Manny Parra (7-2) struggled through five innings but won his fifth consecutive start. He helped himself get out of trouble by inducing three doubleplays.

The Brewers used four relievers in the final four innings, with closer Salomon Torres getting the final two outs on the Orioles' fifth doubleplay for his 12th save in 14 chances.

Baltimore starter Garrett Olson (5-3) pitched five innings, giving up four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two. The left-hander is 2-3 with a 6.39 ERA on the road and 3-0 with a 3.49 ERA at Camden Yards.

The Brewers have hit 45 home runs in their last 22 games, going 15-7 in that span.

Fielder, who led the NL with 50 homers last year, has 16 this year after going long in both the sixth and seventh innings. He also doubled and scored on Hart's 12th homer in the second, scoring three runs.

Baltimore took a 3-2 lead on Kevin Millar's double, scoring Nick Markakis in the fifth.

Hall led off the bottom of the inning with his 10th homer and first since May 13, tying the score at 3. Gabe Kapler followed with a walk, and moved to second on Rickie Weeks' two-out walk.

J.J. Hardy then singled to left, and Kapler scored without a play when Jay Payton's throw home sailed wide of the plate to give Milwaukee a 4-3 lead.

Ryan Bukvich, summoned before the game from Triple-A Norfolk to help the Orioles bullpen, replaced Olson to open the sixth, and Fielder greeted him with a 435-foot home run just inside the right-field foul pole for a 5-3 Brewers lead.

Hardy doubled off Chad Bradford to open the seventh, and Fielder hit his second homer of the game off left-hander Jamie Walker to make it 7-3.

Parra pitched five innings, giving up three runs on five hits and a career-high six walks while striking out one. Baltimore hit into doubleplays in the second, third and fourth innings against Parra, in the eighth against reliever Guillermo Mota and in the ninth against Torres.
